Wildland Fire Crew Updates

The most recent update for our wildland fire crews as of 8/11/2023:

  1. PA-PAS Keystone (21 Personnel): This resource is presently assigned to the Ridge Fire. The crew has been actively involved in both Division A and Division B, engaging in preparatory work for planned burnout and direct handline operations. The CRWB (Crew Boss) reports high morale among the crew, which is conducting a large number of chainsaw operations. You can find more details about the Ridge Fire here: Ridge Fire Information.
  1. E-603 (4 Personnel): Currently stationed in Woodville, Texas, this resource forms part of an IA (Initial Attack) task force. The team has responded to several fires since its arrival. The ENGB (Engine Boss) remarked on the prevailing hot and dry conditions, which are projected to persist in the coming weeks.
  1. PA-PAS Liberty (21 Personnel): Recently arrived at the Northwest Land Office in Kalispell, Montana, this resource is also set to join an IA task force for the time being.

We also received some photos from both of our crews for you to view!
