is there only one Engine on such a fire

[SittingMooseShaman]

... my guess is the steam is positioned so- to extinguish sparks and burning debris which could spread fires to adjacent, down-wind structures...

[towflunky]

one deck gun that we can see that's like pissing on an out of control wildfire

There were a total of 6 master streams on this fir. that was the first arriving engine.

I live up on the top of the bluff in the opposite direction of the way the smoke was traveling. I was very grateful that it did not come in our direction.

We are only seeing one angle on the fire, but it is a VERY lonely master stream. Wind is defeating the stream before it even hits the fire. But I'm sure it looked great on the evening news...

[newmrmedicman]

I hope thats the case because this looks sad for a fire that big to have one master stream on it

[ponmike]

thats a lonely master stream on a massive fire.
