PAS#1 and PAS#2 UPDATE

PAS#1 and PAS#2 left Harrisburg International Airport on Sunday morning as planned. They were accompanied by MDS#1, DES#1, and NHS#1. Upon landing in Broomfield, both crews were immediately assigned to the Keystone Fire on the Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming. The fire is currently over 2,000 ac. More information on the Keystone Fire is available on Inciweb. You can also follow the Keystone Fire on Twitter.

We just received word that morale is high, and both crews are doing good work on the same division. They're prepping for a large masticator operation. For those unfamiliar with the term, a masticator is a type of heavy equipment used to remove large amounts of vegetation. Take a look.
