We stopped it at a half acre. Wind was in our favor. Once we had it under control 7 fire trucks and 2 hand crews and like 10 supervisors showed up. I guess they were board. All we had was one water truck and 3 skip n drags.

Between the horse unit and the resivor.

A skip n drags is a back hoe without the how and a box Gannon with rippers in the back.
