The engine crew headed into the woods with rakes to start containing the fire. Once additional manpower arrived on scene from Engine 27-5, Brush 21 and Engine 21-2, crews were able to get hand lines in operation in the woods. At 1757 the situation was placed under control. All units returned available by 1943 hours. Units: Engine 27-1, Engine 27-5 and Utility 27 Mutual Aid: Brush 21 and Engine 21-2
