The Honda Canyon Fire started at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, due to hurricane-force winds and electric poles. A clash between military and civilian firefighters occurred as military secrets were at stake. It resulted in four fatalities, 65 injuries, and significant damage. The fire was contained after over 30 hours due to a Pacific rainstorm, and the Air Force claimed victory, but those on the front lines tell a different story.
