Sheep Basin Rx. Today we are committed to a 900 acre burn just a few miles from Negrito Fire Base. Our objective is to burn the under story and duff leaving the large trees. Coming up to the burn the grass was green and it looked like it wouldn't light. Gila was lined out in groups of 10 on the west and east of the burn area. The test burn about an acre in size burned good and hot. Each person had a drip torch and was instructed to use fuel liberally. We spent a good 6 hours torching about 450 acres. For me it was a great first controlled burning experience.
