Crown Fire. Today we got moved to where the fire is burning into an old burn from earlier this year. For some reason they didn't want the little strip of land between the two fires to burn. So we went in to burn off dozer line and attempt to stop the fire. Half way into our burn the winds began to push unfavorably over the dozer line. We chased pinner smokes for about an hour before the decision to leave was made. Another crew next to us had completely lost it. We waited at the trucks to see if things would change but eventually got pushed out by the crowning fire.
