Wildfire at High Crossing

[ecampbell]

A Facebook post said 62 acres. We smelled smoke yesterday morning while driving down Carranza Road, and soon were passed by a FFS Power Wagon. It was bounded by Tuckerton Rd and the roads on both sides of the tracks heading toward the Batona Trail. At least we have a new plow line to hike.

I will have to roam around. I might have some things to find.

The fire was located at High Crossing on the Tabernacle Side Of Tuckerton Road between the railroad right of way to the north and Sawdust Pile Road to the south. It was located within a prescribed burn block unit from a few years ago and an existing plowed line was reopened and used on the eastern side of the fire to contain it. Since it was a treated prescribed burn unit from just a few years back that aided in lower fire intensity making the fire easier to contain.
