Rick Cables Quotations

The plan for tomorrow, if we get favorable weather, is to get hand crews on the fire lines, continue air flights and bucket drops to put out hotspots and to continue to be as aggressive as we can while we've got the weather.

Fortunately, the fire seems to be holding on the south end. We haven't had any major, significant acreage growth today. On the north end, we were able to get hand crews in there and do some direct attack.

I'm shocked and, with a lot of other people, in a state of disbelief. Fire service people take care of the land and protect the resources. I'm sure our folks are going to have tough time with this news.

We've got 'trigger points' set up depending on what the weather does and what the fire behavior does. This fire is just really devastating.

The weather's giving us a break, and we're trying to take advantage of it.
