Mansfield Dam

This is Forged in Flames, an oral history of the Labor Day wildfires.

I'm standing near Mansfield Dam and 620.

Here on the morning of September 4th, 2011, a spark ignited and a historic battle got underway.

For months and months before this, the state had suffered intense heat with little or no rain.

911, do you need police, fire, or ambulance?

I want to report a fire on 620.

Is that Mansfield Dam? Yes.

We're getting multiple calls on it.
