Bill I have been checking Wildfire Today all winter and have been impressed. Just a note saw a new term for me on Inciweb for the Gulch fire on the Arizona Strip. They are asking people to be careful on the roads and allow “fire mitigation crews” to work. Thought it was a suppression fire and maybe should be suppression crews, but maybe they are doing something else? Keep up the good work, and maybe we will touch base again one of these days.

Sorry ’bout all the smoke folks, lots of big fires over there – NWT has a ‘let ’em go, let ’em grow’ policy for the majority of their fires – unless of course there are values or lives at risk –
