No sir. I was with a now-defunct group north of Hilltop. We were trying to get a department fully formed and recognized, but some things happened and it never materialized. A shame too, as it would have been a good thing for the area.

Sounds like a unique challenge. I understand sub-zero firefighting well. I lived in Fairbanks for almost 5 years. I miss it, and have been gone from up there almost 4 years now.

Question for you Chief, do you cover the entire North Slope, or just Barrow?
