Over the last month, the crew has done lots of traveling and lots of training. The entire crew traveled up to Idaho for training in McCall where Andrew and Emma received training about the SCA, Wilderness First Aid and FIREMON protocals. Andrew took a Red Card refresher at Zion National Park and attended the Dixie District 3 orientation with Chris in Panguitch, Utah. Emma received her Red Card in Huntsville, Utah. The entire crew attended a tree ID field session with the Dixie Forester. Richfield Fire Cohesion day rounded out the trainings and events that the crew attended. Interspersed with all of these happenings, 48 plots were also remonitored on Dixie Districts Two and Three.
In the next month, the crew will be helping with the Smokey Bear balloon at the Panguitch Balloon Festival and doing numerous plots. However, after the busy month that just occurred, a 5 day break from July 1st through 5th will allow for a brief respite from the rising temperatures in southern Utah.
