[SoWestLep] Garden Canyon update

[Hank Brodkin]

To set the record straight - yes, backfires have gotten away before.  However what caused  the Garden Canyon flareup was sparks from a bulldozer being used to make a firebreak, part of the system that will, hopefully, stop the fire's northward spread.  Small fires were started by bulldozer activity that day in several places, so they started accompanying each dozer operation with firefighters.
