They forgot contractors. - the #wui involves helicopter, dozer and water tender contractors. SPU or first aid units can now be contracted not to mention hand crews and drone pilots. - disaster is a team approach @IAEMRegion1 @iaem
Fact: About 90 per cent of Canadian fire departments are now involved in wildland or grassland firefighting.
Why it matters: Municipal fire crews, volunteer, composite and career, are the first line of defence as fires increasingly start near communities.

Wildfire conditions change fast. Your pump has to keep up.
High pressure. Self-priming. Built for off-road.
When the spec matters, so does the pump. 🔥�� #WildlandFire #WUIow.ly/XqGJ50Yu1IZYLa
