Correct. These sanctioned & facilitated outdoor gatherings are a new thing.

There is no indication that he overworked companies, doesn't care about FFs or has an ego problem. Sometimes a radio transmission is just a radio transmission.
The IC at this fire is one of the most senior & experienced BCs in the whole Dept.
He was in front of a deteriorating situation, not a keyboard. Perhaps we should defer to his judgement?
