Remembering the Zaca Fire

This is a nice 9+ minute photo montage, photos by Cathy L. Gregg, showing a two month time line of the Zaca Fire. The Zaca Fire burned for two month an and around the Los Padres National Forest in California before being contained on September 2, 2007 at 240,207 acres. It was not officially declared out until Oct. 29, 2007.

The videographer, has a nice short history of the Zaca Fire in the information portion of the youtube video page that may be found here.

Some of you may remember that it is following and the writing about the Basin Complex Fire that burned 162,818 acres in Los Padres National Forest in July of 2008 that got me started on writing about wildland firefighting. It was not long afterwards that I first heard about the Zaca Fire. You may go here and here to find out more about the Basin Complex Fire.

I like the video, Remembering the Zaca Fire, because it is a nice montage of photos showing ground crews and air resources working together to contain the fire.
