Monitoring the Little Bear fire containment efforts
The account describes initial fire spotting on June 4 2012 at 3 30 p m and a swift helicopter response with two firefighters on a steep slope. Crews cut trees with chainsaws on 10 200 ft terrain as they worked through hazardous conditions while other fires burned elsewhere. By Friday firefighters had contained the blaze but winds and spot fires forced rapid expansion and evacuations. Congressman Pearce criticized forest service decisions amid resource strain and budget cuts while Lincoln National Forest officials urged focus on the active fire and safe operations.
