## Caption

This is how fast it happens.
 
While crews were responding to the Gann Fire, a new column of smoke appeared. Crews moved in quickly, bringing dozers, aircraft, and firefighters to the fire before it had a chance to grow.
 
Dozers cut containment lines. Aircraft dropped retardant and water. Firefighters attacked from the ground. The Gelding Fire was stopped at 3 acres.
 
For a videographer, getting to capture those first moments is rare. For firefighters, this is the everyday work of keeping wildfires small.
