The season remains busy across the west, and Pennsylvania is actively supporting the high demand for resources. This week, we are planning personnel swaps for one of our crews (Keystone) and our engine (E-603). For those interested in national numbers, you can find useful information on the NICC website. Although it's a bit early in the season for the Northwest to be experiencing this much activity, it is more surprising that the Southwest remains at a Level 3, as this should be their monsoon season. Here is an overview of our current resource assignments:
- PA-PAS – Keystone: This crew is currently in Miles City on preposition. They have been assigned to two different fires: the Sawlog Fire on Crow Nation land and the Badger Fire, which burned from Wyoming into Montana. The crew is currently rehabbing equipment for the Independence Crew, with whom they will swap later in the week.
- PA-PAS – E-603: Currently assigned to the Cle Elum Ranger District in the Wenatchee National Forest. The area has experienced several dry lightning storms in recent weeks, resulting in multiple fires. E-603 is still engaged in initial attack efforts and nightly patrols. Attached is a photo that was taken by the current ENGB on 603.

- PA-PAS – Liberty: The crew has recently returned to preposition after spending a few days on the Owen Fire in Wyoming. We are planning their crew swap for next week, with more details to follow.
- PA-PAS – Independence: This crew is gathering Monday night to fly out early Tuesday morning for the swap with Keystone. They will be assigned to the same preposition.
