While there is still snow on the ground here in Eastern Washington we are already busy preparing for the 2016 wildland fire season.
Gary and I completed our Pack Test (annual fitness test) on January 6th at the Spokane Club. I just did the walk test because I will not be on the fire line. Firefighters Hannah and Kayla will do theirs tomorrow at the Kroc Center in Coeur d’Alene. We are holding our refresher class, RT-130, next week.

Engine 571 is loaded and ready to roll. We have scheduled our annual inspection for the beginning of February.

The U.S. Forest Service has a new solicitation coming out this month and we are ready submit our bid. We are also attending their pre-season meeting in Colville on January 27th.
So as you can see, while the holiday season is barely behind us and egg nog is still fresh on our minds, Canyon Fire is already in full gear preparing for a busy fire season.
Be Safe,
