this is pretty intense to me,might be because i did suffer a burnover in the late 1980s,one of the most scary situations id ever had.

this is about a dozer operator (three really) a civilian,a prevention office and a Battalion chief (supervisor) and how they were involved in the firenado that occurred. the full green sheet is included but you need to click on it to have it open as a PDF

be sure to listen to the audio,the dispatcher sounds as though she is going to cry as the dozer op is talking to her,he is remarkably calm.seems to take her a minute to understand what was happening,she keeps asking about the location (which she should have) but once she realized he was in a burnover,or it sunk in,you hear her voice change and she seems to believe shes talking to a deadman.
