9/07/2015 Countyline 2 Fire Update

SIZE: 67,207 acres CONTAINMENT:97%

ASSIGNED PERSONNEL: 379 
Fire crews continue to make substantial progress with mop-up operations. The overall assessment of the fire perimeter is that it is “looking good”.
Crews are also pulling fire hose deployed during the suppression effort and they continue to “back haul” equipment from the fire lines.

Fire managers conducted a simulated medical emergency on the fire line yesterday. This was a great chance for practicing accident response protocols, including patient treatment, patient transportation, medical incident reporting, and communications links.
The plan for today is to continue with securing the fire perimeter. 

Fire managers will also be working on fire suppression rehabilitation work. There are approximately 57.4 miles of dozer line and an estimated 1.7 miles of hand line that will be assessed. This work may include piling brush generated in fire line preparation, building water-bars (cross drains), or placing branches/limbs on top of exposed soil to reduce rain impact.
