For the past few weeks, Chris has been working with Laura Peterson (Forest Service Fire Ecology Intern) to set up this year's schedule. Of course the schedule contains ample time for fuel plots, but it also contains numerous other activities that will provide for an enriching and well rounded summer for the corps members. In addition to completing the summer's schedule(at least for now), Chris has renewed his Wildland Firefighter's Red Card and he, Laura, and Andrew added to their fire credentials by successfully completing the S290 course of Intermediate Wildland Fire Behavior.
Looking to the future, the crew is getting ready to head to McCall, Idaho, for corps member training. After training, they will return to Utah and hit the ground running...Emma will get her Wildland Firefighters Red Card while Andrew, Laura, and Chris will return to Dixie to start monitoring fuel plots. Once she has received her Red Card, Emma will join the rest of the crew for plot work.
