Fire 4 of 5 · Hard
Two Starts
Two fires 2.5 km apart: one south-west of Fox pond, one just north of the long pond east of the airtanker base. Decide which to hit first. Scoop Fox pond heading west, toward its fire (its east end runs up into the hills). The wind is forecast to swing around mid-fire.

- Fox pond's east end runs up into the hills. Scoop it westbound.
