If you all know who your local legislators are call them, email them, and ask, "Why are the Type One teams not offering Red Card training" at camps like they used to??

Type two can also doing training at their camps BUT they are NOT doing it!!!

If WE could get some more "operators" Red Carded WE could get sitting equipment on the fires!!!!

That should be more than enough info until their names are released and we know the families have been notified. Please, let's show them that respect.

A very sad day. RIP to these heroes. God speed.  Prayers sent to their families and work brothers and sister.  May the rest stay safe and may it rain soon.

Seriously? Three firefighters gave the ultimate sacrifice today and you continue on with your rant.  Show some respect and take your ajenda to a different thread.
RIP to the fallen

Please pray, the one flown to Harborview is a family friend.  All of these firefighters deserve our prayers as do their families.

TWISP, Wash. -- The Okanogan County Sheriff's Office confirms three firefighters have died and three to four more have suffered injuries as raging wildfires advance on the towns of Twisp and Winthrop in north-central Washington.

A Spokane Fire Department spokesman confirms the firefighters who died were with the U.S. Forest Service.

Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said the injured firefighters suffered burns and were transported from the scene. One of the injured firefighters was being treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Harborview officials say the 25-year-old man was in critical condition with severe burns. The conditions of the other injured firefighters were unknown.

Gov. Jay Inslee in a release expressed his condolences, saying his heart breaks over the loss of life and that conditions remain extremely dangerous. Inslee will travel to the Chelan area Thursday to view firefighter efforts. He is expected to arrive at Pangborn Memorial Airport in East Wenatchee at 8 a.m. and head to the Chelan Falls incident command post at Chelan Falls Park.

Inslee is requesting a federal emergency declaration to provide more help to pay for fighting the many wildfires burning in Washington state.

Let's keep this discussion to a different thread, but to briefly respond politely... the last thing needed on the fireline is someone who sat through a quick class at fire camp and knows nothing about chain of command, fire suppression tactics, communication, ect... just cuz you can run equipment doesn't mean that you should be on the fire.
