Solano Fire - May 10. State and BIA land in Southern AZ. 3000 acres. We got dispatched on Saturday. When we arrived from our travel we spotted smokes away from the main fire. Air attack confirmed that they are indeed new starts so we IA'd two small fires. Adding up to 67 acres. They were set by a distressed and dehydrated UDA. He surrendered to our Superintendent Dewey. Who announced the apprehension on the radio. Got a good laugh.

One of our beloved crew members Money - Travis left for a permanent job on Blue Ridge Hotshots. To fill his spot on the saw team I moved from diggers and paired up with Brian for the rest of the season. This pictures is of Brian replacing a missing nut.
