Wildland Fire Crew Update (9/7/2022)

Good morning! 

Time for a quick update regarding our crews:

Keystone and Independence are both home from their assignments.

Anthracite is on its last shift today (9/7/2022) and plans for its return are currently in the works as we wait to hear when they will be heading out.

Yesterday (9/6/2022) the Avery Forest District in Idaho requested a suppression module in their place, and thankfully we have enough people to help with that. The Nittany Suppression Module is currently on the way to Avery, ID (9/7/2022) to replace the Anthracite Crew. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, a suppression module is simply a smaller crew, whose positions are generally negotiable between the sending and receiving units. This module has 10 personnel and is made up of pretty much all of our remaining available crew resources.

E-603 is still on the Six Rivers National Forest and is making a crew swap today. The returning engine crew will travel tomorrow, arriving in Harrisburg late, and making the last leg home Friday morning.
