When the Intanko Fire was finished about 939 acres (380 hectares) had burned, but luckily no buildings: “When everything settled down and the hectic phase of it had passed, I was just happy to see that all of the homes were not damaged and everyone was safe.”-Senior Airman John Nethercutt, 9th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter
