Forgot to mention in my trek report that when we arrived a day early and
had dinner in Cimmaron, we stopped at a public information table regarding
the fire fighting efforts. (This was on 6/17, the day of containment). We
were offered a tour of the helicopters and equipment used to fight the
fires. Found out that the response team set up a 1400 person "tent city"
with all appropriate support and equipment in two days. Our crew got to
climb aboard one of those huge "ferry" helicopters that moves everything
from trucks to lighthouses. The fire fighting crews were amazing, and
spent a lot of time answering questions and giving the boys tours (this was
about 9:00 at night after they had undoubtedly had a long day.
