Forest firefighter from the city and state assemble around the fire boss who makes changes to the burn area. Such amendments happen because of weather, or other ecological conditions. The employees are dressed in fire retardant material to reduce the chance of burn injuries. Photo taken on 12-13-08. Credit: Ian Horvath
