Fourmile Fire

Being the great thinkers you are, you've been researching questions about the Fourmile Fire online. If we can't find answers online we discussed interviewing people involved in the Fourmile Fire. The event is so recent we can't check out or look in an encyclopedia.

Well, the time is here. At least one firefighter from the Platte Canyon Fire Department is coming to answer our questions. What questions do you have for a wildland firefighter or a fighter who fought the Fourmile Fire?
