Wildland Fire Crew Update 8/8/2023

Good morning!

We have a slew of updates at once because things moved quite fast between last Wednesday (8/2/2023) and yesterday (8/7/2023) morning.

  1. PA-PAS - Keystone (21 Personnel): We gathered the crew members at the Red Lion Hotel on 8/2/2023 later in the evening where they overnighted to leave in rental vehicles to their first destination on 8/3/2023.This crew was en route to a request from the Northern Rockies Geographic Area Coordination Center (GACC), as of 8/4/2023. Upon reaching Wyoming, they received new orders to report to the Ridge fire in Montana.
  2. E-603 (4 Personnel): This engine was dispatched Friday (8/4/2023) and is heading toward Conroe, TX. 
  3. PA-PAS - Liberty: We had been contacted by Montana requesting a Type 2 IA Crew, and although we did not have one posted, we did have enough personnel available to fill this request. The crew was gathered at the Red Lion Hotel on 8/6/2021 where they overnighted to leave 8/7/2023 in rental vehicles. They should recieve a new order when they get closer to their destination.
  4. In total, we have 19 single resources deployed in 7 different states. The majority of these resources (16) were deployed earlier this week.
