The fire was not contained==active incident: “As of Wednesday morning the fire covered nearly 9,000 acres and was 13% contained.” The deleterious effect on morale cannot be overstated.

Correct, but that doesn’t make this statement accurate: “two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time.”

They were actively deployed under ICS. While they weren’t digging a trench or driving a dozer at the precise moment they were stopped, they were indeed engaging in firefighting activity that day.

(They were on hand crews, so wouldn’t have been driving a dozer anyway, but you get my meaning)
