The new team shadowed the members of Great Basin Team 2 during the day on Saturday to assure a smooth transition of command. This allowed the team members to grasp existing conditions, review the long-term plan, and visit the fire area and facilities. The community should expect to see a lot of new faces throughout the fire area.

Power company workers continue to replace equipment and pull new cables along Bullion Creek Rd.
