Narrative

Smoke was detected at our multi-fuel tent. Within minutes the tent burst into flames. We applied water to the pile of tire fluff for about 25 minutes. At this time there were no flames. We then use a loader to start back dragging the material to uncover any hot spots. We had 1 flare up at 5:45pm where flame were visible. At 6:01pm the fire was out.
