Pranay,You are asking this in reply to a week-old posting about a now-defunct fire in Shasta Co. - were you actually asking this in response to the resource orders for today's Power Incident in eastern Shasta Co. that for a time threatened to burn Burney?
Sent from my iPhoneAnybody know where 9113C strike teams are from? There are no units with 13 as their first 2 number. I might be mistaken.Regards.PranaySource: http://www.redding.com/news/2012/aug/26/highway-299-crash-causes-fire-while-passing-hay-tr/Highway 299 crash causes fire while passing hay truck ignites
