Bay Area Firefighters Prepare for Fire Dangers, Season

Contra Costa County firefighters on Wednesday spent the day preparing for such an event, practicing their mobile attack techniques and fighting fire with fire as they removed dangerous brush from several hundred acres of undeveloped property in Antioch.
