Range 9 fire. 320 acres. Located in Fort Huachuca's shooting range. Started by gun fire. Gila put in hand line during the morning hours then burned off a road into the night. I was picked to help with interior ignitions during the burnout. That meant I got to use the gun (shots something like a flare to start fires) and grenades (explode like a fire cracker). Fun fun fun. Whats not so fun was when unexploded ordinances started going off in the distance due to the fires heat. That ended the interior burning operations.
