County fire warden credits coordinated response for containing Frisbee Road blaze
Summary
Jesse, Sheridan County fire warden, said the 'Frisbee fire' near Frisbee Road was largely contained thanks to coordinated efforts by county, city, volunteer departments, BLM crews and aircraft retardant drops during high-wind conditions.
Jesse, who identified himself as the county fire warden with the sheriff's department, briefed commissioners on a wildland fire near Frisbee Road that burned under high winds and very low humidity. "It was a very coordinated effort and it was successful in that regard," Jesse said, crediting BLM crews, local fire departments and aircraft retardant drops for helping contain the blaze.
Jesse said crews worked overnight to find hot spots and that the department's recently purchased side-by-side vehicle was heavily used in incident command and responder movements. He also thanked all volunteer and municipal agencies that responded and praised interagency coordination that prevented a larger conflagration.
