Reservoir Road Fire 2010

On September 13, 2010, at approximately 1524 hours, while performing hotline construction during extended attack on the Reservoir Road Fire, a member of the Bonneville Hotshots was injured as a result of a fall from a rock face. The crew member slid down, feet first, while facing the rock, landed on his feet, rotated 180 degrees, lost his footing, and came to rest in a seated position facing downhill. The right front side of his hard hat impacted an approximately 6-inch diameter Douglas-fir tree, causing the injury.
