Back Burn at night -- Pole Creek Fire, Sisters OR, Sept. 2012

Here is another video from my buddy Steve Konrad. In this video he provides us with a rare look at a back burn done at night on the Pole Creek Fire in Sisters OR, September 2012. I've watched this video a few times by now. Steve's video makes me feel like I am there, watching this crew do the back burn, holding the line, and staying safe. An inside view of something that I would not otherwise see. I'm not quite sure of the final acreage burned as the Oregon Dept. of Forestry and Inciweb no longer have pages on this fire. According to this thread on the wildlandfire hotlist the fire burned at least 12,000 acres.

I'll stop here and let Steve's video speak for itself.
