Report from Prewitt by Tom Collins

They lit off the backburn about 4 hrs ago (about 10 am).  I went up to Prewitt and spoke with a few dozer operators.  The had high confidence the containment line from SCRRoad, Prewitt and from Prewitt to HWY1  would hold.  Looking East towards FHL and S towards Plaskett looked well under control.  The temp was mid 60’s with fog coming up the slopes of Prewitt.
