Hi, i was just wondering where you found the start location -- do you have access to an internal database? Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Stevens Creek stream keeper and so a little concerned about the fire. Right now, i'm just trying to collect the facts.

Judielane: probably listening to CDF radio calls on a scanner, like I was.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I never answered your post. I was assigned to the fire shortly thereafter and never updated the post.
ReplyDeleteFound your question by accident today.
And I do not remember the answer...
probably scanner like nullhype said though.
