Range 47

Several fires on Range 47 were started by tracer round from M-249 SAW machine guns.  The combination of dry weather and light wind caused the fires to creep at a steady rate. Direct attack was used on all of these up-range fires and were handled by Brush 36 and Brush 38 out of Station 3.  Around 5 acres burned total and no exposures were damaged.  Brush 36 and 38 were in the range area for all of these fires and were able to get on location and quickly control the scene.
