Fire LWF-063 started in the evening of Wednesday May 23, 2001, just north of Flatbush Alberta. The Escaped Fire Analysis Strategy is given in Appendix I. Over a period of three days the fire grew to approximately 15,000 ha in size due to extremely dry, volatile fuels and strong winds. The fire exhibited very aggressive behaviour during its early stages. Numerous resources were requested and assigned to the fire, including fire suppression crews from British Columbia.
