Upon arrival, crews discovered that the fire had spread up a steep embankment roughly 60 feet above the roadway. Firefighters worked under difficult terrain conditions to contain and extinguish the flames, preventing further spread.

Field 23 also responded to assist with suppression efforts. Through coordinated teamwork and a rapid response, the fire was successfully brought under control.
