The burning tires were removed and <br /> extinguished by CDF fire fighters . All burning tires were removed <br /> and the excavation was flooded as a precautionary measure . <br /> September 18 , 1996 <br /> O/S Personnel : 1-OSC, 2-USCG, 2-START, 6-CET, 6-CDF <br /> Weather: Temps 801s, strong winds from the northeast <br /> The ERCS contractor commenced excavation of burning tires <br /> along the east-facing slope of the fire break. The excavator <br /> chased the burning tires through the embankment and into the <br /> landfill . All burning tires were removed and extinguished with <br /> foam. The fires appeared to be extinguished, however, the <br /> infrared camera readings taken at 19 : 00 revealed a single small <br /> hotspot in a cut along the exposed portion of the landfill .
