Several crews, including the Sutton Wildlands Fire Crew, performed a prescribed burn at the Hultine Waterfowl Protection Area northwest of Saronville on Saturday. The burn, which was managed by Prescription Pyro, LLC of Broken Bow, gave the Sutton crew some hands-on work for their newly developed wildland burn crew. Above, Brandon Scheidemann and Tracey Landenberger help start the fire along Road 319, the DLD road, and between roads R and S, moving north and west of the DLD road. Below is a ground view of Scheidemann and Landenberger starting the fire that was managed by over 20-25 professional wildland fire people throughout the prescribed burn duration.
