Wildland Firefighters have encounter with BF
Account
The witness was part of a 10-person fire crew walking a fire line at night. After the crew leader alerted the group to something in unburned brush, the witness saw multiple sets of yellowish-green eyes about 100 feet away moving quickly, then one set remained squatted low and stared directly. The crew made noise and the witness approached to within about 40-50 feet before backing off when the figure did not flee, after which the crew lined up and left the area.
