hahaha, I was suprised no one had posted it?

3rd alarm scrub fire, running uncontained from 0320 yesterday morning, burned uncontained til about 1300 yesterday.

Fire was burning in UXO Land which made it impossible/incredibly difficult for ground crews to attack it.

We had 2 fixed wings, and 3 helitacks, (Including the big F*ck-off one

)

Multiple DEC Gang Trucks.

Pictures to be posted up later.
