#12DaysofWildlandFire 🎄 🔥
Due to the current and predicted weather, adequate resource availability and the decreasing potential for emerging significant wildland fires in multiple geographical areas, the National Preparedness Level will move to 1 (PL-1) at 1200 MDT today.
Crewmembers take a minute to review. MD had 2 crews on that complex and many of us vividly remember that day. May we learn from this incident and don’t repeat it.
