June 9, 2001.  Modesto, California.

"At last, the firefighters had an attack point set up and firefighter Mark Gonzales began playing a monitor on the blaze, shooting a mixture of water and Class A foam on the head of the fire under the direction of MFD Captain Hugo Patino. At this point, the fire had been raging close to an hour. At least half of the trestle was involved."
