Lot of smiles for lots of OT!!
And the fire will go out when it rains heavily or runs out of stuff to burn

You go sleep in a tent in the woods, I'll fill your spot on OT.

We have trouble filling spots on our rigs yet we can send 30 guys across the country to manage somebody else's fire.

It’s all paid for by the feds including backfill of positions.

Most of the IMT is from the officer ranks. And the officers responsible to backfill work. Its a bit different from the FF/Tier 3 ranks.

IMT is open to all. Published in the department order every couple years which spells out how to join if interested.

Lets hate on 32 brothers who in the prime of the summer forgoing family events stepped up to go live in tents for 16 days.
