Elisabeth Grove, Peak to Peak. Controlling the burn. Timberline Fire is assisting the US Forest Service as they burn piles cut for fire mitigation last year near Rollinsville.

Above, left; Ed LeBlanc, of the USFS, monitoring fires throughout the day. Above, right; Rob Savoye holds a drip torch between piles. The need for snowshoes and heavy packs made it quite a strenuous job.
