Firefighters clear brush around Fawnskin homes
Firefighters continue to clear brush surrounding houses in Fawnskin even though they don't expect the fire will get
too close.
"Right now we're looking pretty good," said Marty Lee, engineer with a Lassen-based US Forest Service engine.
His crew was parked in the driveway of a brown two-story house off Highway 38, running hose lines through the
yard.
It's their third shift in four days and they've received no word of when they'll be going home.
But more importantly, Lee wants to remind mountain residents how important it is they keep brush at bay
themselves.
"Homeowners need to do their clearance," Lee said.
"We're going to try to save the structures that have the potential to be saved."
