Final check on Deer Creek Canyon Park Lightning Strike

Firefighters today performed the final check on the lightning strike in Deer Creek Canyon Park.  Lightning had struck a tree on the east side of the park on Friday afternoon.  Firefighters performed initial attack Friday afternoon and evening, followed by a return to the scene Saturday.  During the final check today the fire was cold out.  Firefighters dumped the water pack (5 gallons) of water on the tree stump anyway - who wants to carry the water back down hill!
