I've been watching the fires in California all day. Seeing how resources are stretched thin and how quickly the situation can change. My thoughts and prayers are with the people impacted, as well as all the first responders. How I wish I could be there to help.
Stared a new job this week. It's not great, but it's not terrible so far. Got a job offer to ride a contract engine next year. Depending on what happens, I'll probably take that. With all the chaos my life has been in the past few months, I'm somewhat optimistic about the future.
Feel free to leave your opinion on this if you're so inclined. There's a lot more to this story, but I tried to summarize the best I could. I just feel like the negligence of the city to hire someone with no certs and no experience to lead us into danger is unacceptable.
Mandatory evac for the entire town of Ruidoso NM. Hopefully, recovery will be good overnight, and air attack can get to work early before the winds pick up.
WOW! Check out this incredible clip from a Ruidoso, #NewMexico Live Cam just now showing the awful #SouthForkFire and the traffic heading out of town as there is now a Mandatory #Evacuation! #nmwx#WildFire

For structure fires or MCIs I completely understand ICS.
We arrive. We assess and monitor the pt. Then we hand over the pt to the medical agency. I feel like ICS would only make a simple situation unnecessarily complex.
First responder friends:
Do you need to implement NIMS ICS for a single patient minor medical incident?
For example, a single sick person sitting in a car. You have a "chief" responding along with four other personnel, including a separate medical agency.
I understand that every incident needs structure. However, I feel like it's unnecessary to have an "IC" for a single person minor medical incident where my department is solely support for the responding medical agency. There are not multiple patients, not multiple sectors or -
Greenfield, Iowa sustained catastrophic damage from this #tornado. These are just a few images I captured. Cars tossed, structures heavily damaged/slabbes and hardwood trees heavily debarked.
This town will need any and all disaster relief they can get. #iawx@TheYallSquad
