Thanks to my friends at the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page who shared some wonderful footage from 911 Video News of two helicopters working what turned out to be a very small brush fire that burned near the Lake Murray Reservoir in or near San Diego California last week, see this short report from CBS News 8 in San Diego (with video). The footage of the two helicopters, one from the San Diego Fire Department and the other from the San Diego Sheriff is incredible. You will also see footage of the wildland firefighters on the ground working the brush fire and an interview at 10:26 with Battalion Chief Ted Moran of San Diego Fire and Rescue about the brush fire. Allow just under 12 minutes to watch the video. You won't be disappointed.
Great work by the crews in the air and on the ground containing the brush fire at about an acre. Homes were near by, there were no evacuations and no direct threats to homes.
