Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Hotshot crew hiking into the NE corner of the #JuneFire to construct fire line. This crew, along with one other hotshot crew and miscellaneous overhead, will be "spiking out" on the fire line for the next few days. Having crews spike out in remote areas of the fire reduces travel time (both foot and vehicle travel) to and from the fire which increases the amount of work that firefighters can accomplish in a day. This also reduces their risk of injury from walking miles over the steep and rocky terrain every day. These firefighters and all of their supplies will be shuttled into the fire by helicopters into a spike camp several miles from any access point. They will stay in this area as they continue to accomplish their mission of securing the north side of the fire.
