May 29. Negrito Rx. Lighting boss Brian leading the fire show. The point of burning Negrito, according to the burn plan, is to reduce the risk to the buildings around the base. This is done by reducing fuels. Two years ago the Bear fire almost reached the base. The scares from the powerful crown fire are visible a few miles from the base near the Snow Lake area. During the fire Negrito was evacuated and the Gila IHC's personal vehicles and belongings could have been lost.
