The Wildland Fire Crew had a pretty eventful week this week; it saw firefighters coming home safe and fresh crews leaving to assist in fires.
PAS#3 and PAS#4 returned from Montana on Tuesday evening, as PAS#5 and PAS#6 were assembling and heading to California for the Minerva 5 Fire.
Crews 3 and 4 retrieve their gear from the plane.
The fifth and sixth crews to leave Pennsylvania this year were requested to fly commercial, and after two days of cancelled, postponed, and rerouted flights, all crewmembers have finally arrived at the incident. They have been assigned to the night shift.
We’ve also received requests to replace the crews on the two
engines that have been assigned to Montana for the past two weeks, and those
crews will leave this weekend. These engines are serving as part of a task
force performing initial attack in eastern Montana.
