Salt Lake 2 is on the road heading back to Salt Lake City for 2 days of R & R after a 14 day tour. We finished the tour on the Cold Fire, part of the Canyon Complex based in Quincy, California. Resources are stretched so thin, with over 60 large fires in California, that the team has kept us attached to the incident while we travel home and take days off. We will be returning to Northern California on July 5th.
Nate Siemers is finishing a whirlwind CRWB - trainee assignment. The crew constructed a few miles of handline and sawline, conducted burnout operations, directed bulldozers, engines, and installed hoselays.
Riley Pilgrim spent three days acting as a Dozer Boss then the rest of the tour as a Task Force Leader trainee.
Jefferson Halladay, a UFA paramedic, accompanied us on this assignment. He was the first paramedic on scene of two medical emergencies. The first, a dehydration / exhaustion emergency, the second a bulldozer rollover. Edward Arriola commanded the emergency scene while Jefferson and our EMTs provided medical care. Edward facilitated an emergency helicopter hoist extrication of the patient off of the side of the mountain. The patient was then flown to the nearest trauma center with a number of potentially serious injuries.
