4:49 PM, July 7, 2008
Pat DeNatale, one of the Sierra Hotshots, sets backfires with a drip torch above Goleta in the Santa Ynez mountains Monday as hand crews cleared brush from hills that haven't burned in 53 years, all part of an effort to keep flames from cresting the mountains. See story here, and more pix here.
