AFTERMATH: 76,067 acres - 99% contained (110 sq. miles incinerated: 24th day)Four firefighter Helitak team members barely escaped; deploying their personal last-ditch emergency shelters after fleeing to a barren goat corral; they suffered serious burns but were rescued. CalFire is reviewing procedures and equipment: the plastic container melted on one man's emergency shelter container: two men shared the same shelter. This indicates too much delay in deployment...and who needs plastic at a forest fire. One of my boat crew's family had a cabin for decades in Anderson Springs (in photo above); Don, now 69, doesn't want to go look to see if it survived-too many happy memories. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/How-Valley-Fire-wall-of-flame-trapped-6549684.php

One of the men went to take a drink from his hydration pack, but “the water from the mouth piece was too hot to drink,” the report said.
