“The current climate situation is incredibly scary,” said Chief Mark Niemeyer, VP of @western_fire. “WFCA is providing public access to definitive information around the paths of wildfires so that communities can quickly take action.” https://t.co/EHTRVc5PHN #wildfires

So you want to be a CAL FIRE helitack firefighter?

In order to be a helitack firefighter, you must be a Fire Fighter I. The majority of helitack firefighters first work on an engine or hand crew to gain experience and become more desirable. Then, apply to the Aviation Battalion!

@ChiefDuyck is the ideal winner of the prestigious Chief Harlin McEwen Award presented by @FirstNetGov - having worked with Mike I can say that his leadership has made the fire service, EMS, and all public safety safer and more effective in how they communicate and leverage tech
