Moonlight Fire. 30,000+ acres. The fire was thought to be under controll once already and now has grown a good bit. Almost 100 crews are on the fire and its already cost millions. Welcome to California.

When we got to our Division the smoke inversion was thick enough that you could only see 200 feet infront of you. After meeting up with the first Cali crew our overhead decided it wouldn't be safe with the conditions and low visability. Our best option was to hold what line was in and wait for more crews or better visability. Most of our day was spent holding line and securing the fires edge.

Fire camp is a gigantic mess. Food line is an hour long and awful quality. The sleeping area looks like a tent city.
