Everybody’s getting screened before they even so much as walk into the station now. Interagency crews won’t be moving around as much as they would normally be... In theory. It’s definitely better for the crews health but we may be looking at a lot of fires with less aggressive IA that get big because of short staffing. I’ve already read a report from Montana where a shot crew didn’t go to a fire that would have been a two hour drive.
My guys have already been told we’re probably not leaving R8 barring an event never seen before in 2 or 9 (like the whole state of Maine going Ft. McMurray in 2016), and we’re literally 10 miles away & across a river from R9 m. Florida, Georgia, Alabama & Mississippi have been burning all spring and... No call.
