Welcome to the Brisbane Fire Trail Series. This is the first in a series of Power Trails (really Power Hikes) to the top of San Bruno Mountain. This road is used by Brisbane Fire Department to head up San Bruno Mountain when it catches on fire.
As a resident of Brisbane for over 40 years, it was not uncommon to drive home, see the hillside on fire and head up the hill to join volunteer fire fighters battle the flames. In years past we only used hand tools to dig fire lines. Now they use bulldozers and helicopters that drop water on the fire. The helicopters refill their water supply buckets in the nearby Brisbane Lagoon.
This series is to salute all those brave folks that fight wild fires on the ground, with only hand tools at their disposal. The CAL FIRE Forestry Department routinely supports the Brisbane Fire Department to fight the larger fires and protect our homes near the top of the hill.
This cache has been replaced with a NEW SMALLER camo pill bottle. Please rewrap the attachment to keep the cache out of hungry critter jaws. Beware of potential eye hazards.
