π Description
Several of my co-workers came across a huge footprint in the middle of nowhere. They were fighting a forest fire, which is our summer job. They came across a foot print in some dry mud that was huge. They took a few pictures of it and even had a tape measure with it. [See this database entry in a few weeks for photograph of track.]
π Circumstances
Patrolling for smudges and looking for smoke and burning material to extinguish.
π€οΈ Weather Conditions
It was mid July, 1996 and it was a hot day. It had rained for a few days earlier so that the fire was cool enough to respond to action against it. The fire # was Sioux Lookout Fire # 70.
