so this sucks. I've been working everyday.......we are trying to figure out how to keep 50 folks ready to initial attack wildfire, get them through fire school at the end of May........fires don't care about our problems. One lighting storm away from 30 fires that don't care , like normal.
The state tapped into us for our IMT'ss that we normally use for giant fires. I am a member of Team 1, Team 2 started it up in the capital, Team 3 is up now and for one more week. My team goes up on the 12th where we will take over for Team 2.......procurement and distributing PPE through Oregon seems to be the main chore working with the National Guard . We were the ones that sent ventilators to NY ......shit like that. So the only part of this that I'm used to is the emergency part but my buddies on Team 2 tell me its easier than a fire and a lot less stress.
