Engine boss Pat McChesney tosses a smoldering log into the fire as part of a process called bone-yarding, which helps a contained fire burn more cleanly. Wildland firefighters participate in a live-fire training exercise on Wednesday, June 11, 2014 during the annual fire academy organized by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation at the Boorman Station.
