East Elk Fire. My six person squad got called to a 1/4 acre fire in the Gila NF. We lined it in 15 minutes and spent the rest of the afternoon mopping up and cold trailing.

The Gila had red flag warnings today due to winds and RH/temp. If it had not been a red flag day they might "fire use" a small fire like this. Fire use is when they let a naturally occurring (lighting) fire burn itself out so it can consume forest fuels like a controlled burn would.
