Sans,
We must remember the USMC has a reputation for understatement when it comes to brush fires and the Osprey. The last time it happened they neglected to admit it required two days to put out the fire and that it burned quite a large area. They got caught out when the NC Forestry folks reported the Fire and the effort it took to extinguish it. Much Egg on some Camp Lejeune
PR faces.
I have made inquiries to see what actually happened....as media reports cannot not always be trusted.
