Today is the day! The Region 6 Solicitation for Engines closed at 4 PM. This means that every contractor that wants to participate for the next three years has put in their bid.
Every day we get closer to the 2016 wildfire season. Two of the items that are new for this season include: 1) new requirements for sawyer chaps and 2) helmets must be labeled for compliance.
Our next milestone is crew training. We are joining another team for training in Sandpoint on April 3rd. Our new FFT2 will get her S130/S190 that weekend and we will hire our backup staff.
We now await hearing how the bids panned out and our position in the dispatch priority list (DPL). We are shooting for being the best value.
Stay Safe,
