If we are on a fire, a typical day might look like prepping a road or line for us or another crew to burn later. When prepping, we take down any snags that might fall on the line, and remove brush along the line that could potentially throw spots during the burn. Other days, we might be hot spot-cold trailing. This is when we have the fire contained (line all the way around and the forward progression has stopped) and we are walking around the edge to seek out heat and cool it down. We cool it down either with water, by cutting out brush/trees (limbing a tree to access the heat underneath, or felling a tree that has heat in it), or by digging it out and exposing it to air. It allows us to secure the edge of the fire and hopefully prevent it from spotting over our line. As far as saw time goes, it could just be for a few hours or as long as a full day of cutting/prepping line.
