Season Retrospective


OR-MAF-256








So its been over two months since the last post although it doesn't feel that long. While a lot has happened in that time it has really been a slow season. I've only IA'd a handful of fires and gotten to rappel a few; thankfully though I've spent a fair amount of time out of John Day either boosting other bases or on helibases somewhere. Now we are in that awkward late season phase where we're not sure if we should expect more fire or not. Fuels are still dry but the days are cooler and there is more rain in the forecast.

All in all a good season though. We are rappelling after much uncertainty, R6 has rappelled a bunch of fires safely and we have a really solid crew.
