The @LassenNF wants you to know it's a higher priority to send a 20-person crew into the middle of a lavafield to put out a single tree with zero potential for spread than use them to burn 40 or 50 acres during the middle of an amazing late-spring prescribed fire window.

Here's a first look at footage I shot on the Chico Airport burn yesterday. Really happy with the new camera, and grateful for the partnership and trust between @DeerCrResources and @chicofd. I'll be making a longer video about yesterday's burn.
