Wildland Fire Updates

 Hello again! We are busy this week with updates from our single resources and engine, so sit back and enjoy these awesome pictures from our people.

The following pictures are from Engine 601 with the provided update:

"On 601's last day, we were assigned as an initial attack for the Klamath Falls District of the Fremont Winema National Forest and were immediately sent to the 242 fire. We immediately went into point protection and worked through the night controlling flare-ups. Due to limited resources, the engine was not released from the incident from the crew swap (slated for Tuesday 09/08/2020), so crew 2 transitioned on the line Wednesday morning (09/09/2020)."

The following photo is from one of our single resources and was provided with this update:

"I was on a trapline again today, about a 7-hour run.  Stopped by a school that has grades 1 through 8 with a total of only 8 students." This is not a sight to be seen every day, along with the bigfoot this same single resource caught a glimpse of on the trapline.

These photos are from a separate single resource with the following update:

"Here are a couple of photos of the fires that started around the ICP from downed wires. We were able to suppress them decently until more stuff began popping up all around us. That was when the evacuation began!" They are okay!

As always, check back often for more updates! And remember if you're out on assignment, we want your photos and stories! Just be sure proper PPE is being worn and you can't identify a person from the photo.
