On July 3rd a vegetation fire occurred on communications hill. BC Paul Schulller and BC Gaudenz Panholzer acted as IC and division Mary. The fire spread to areas of the hill that were too steep for even our brush patrols. As I drove to the Hillcap Ave. side of the fire I looked up and saw several SJFD personnel working the left flank with handtools. Their teamwork was evident, and their pace was extraordinary. This effort kept the fire from spreading to the next hill and ridge top. The firefighters that took on this challenge were, CA Jan Gall, CA Don Alexander, FE Paul Marshal, FF Sundance Scardino, and FF Steven Clet. CA Joe Grimaldo led another team of firefighters as they did a progressive hose lay anchoring on Hilcap Ave. As seen above, this fire was difficult to surround and had it not been for the crews on scene, fire spread could have been more extensive. Great job.
