Here’s your look at yesterday’s heroic effort to defend Foresthill. A shift in the winds caused a spot fire that directly threatened the town. But thanks to previous placement of dozer and hand lines and an extraordinary and lightning-fast attack using dozers, hand crews, defensive firing operations, helicopters and numerous air tankers – including every very large tanker in the state - disaster in Foresthill was avoided. The main fire front was held and structure protection efforts prevented the loss of many imperiled properties.
