As for the length of the seasons, It started last month and will go until November. We as a group travel all over the states for jobs. Last year we sent crews to Utah, Florida, Montana and California on type 6 and 1 engines. As for the web site it is a work in progess and is a little underdeveloped to say the least. Crews are sent out for at least 3 weeks and then rotated out as needed, all in all it depends on the task at hand you might end up on the front line chasing glory or tasked to a helo refuel spot as protection which is a good time to read books and over eat, its always a roll of the dice. It does help that the department is getting a good rep with the powers to be, within the wildland comminuty, it makes for better job assignments.
I will keep in touch mate.

We have created a site for responders run exclusively by responders... It is a place with great fellowship on the good days and solid and confidential support when the "bad call" happens. As a Chaplain of over 25 years we wanted a place that responders could come and receive the support for traumatic events with trained CISM responders and more.

Please join our site and invite your friends, too
