July 2. View of the spot fire from the fire line. The crew holding with us some how didn't spot this or maybe thought someone was on it, we never found out. At any rate it was moving up at them fairly fast. A heavy helicopter knocked the fire down so the 4 of us could get around it with line. It took us the rest of the day. While that was going on for me the crew found several more spot fires. Long day for all of us. I was surprised we didn't lose the ridge we were on.
