It rained the thirtieth and that sure helped to get the fire under control.
We had to sleep the last couple of nights in a wet sleeping bag. All my clothes have been wet for the last two days so that I have a heavy cold.

Eleven days in to the fire.
Breathing all of that smoke probably didn't help with his cold.
This wasn't there at the time, but a fire lookout was built years later. One of the factors that contributed to size of the Heaven's Peak fire was there wasn't a good way to see what was happening in that part of the park. This lookout provided a spot where you could see that portion of the park and more readily address fires before they grow to the size of the Heaven's Peak fire.
