NJ Forest Fire Service 2018 crew deployment (Aug 6th): NJS#2 at Red Canyon Fire

The NJS#2 (New Jersey Forest Fire Service) crew continues to work the Red Canyon Fire (5,766 acres, 74 percent containment), 30 miles south of Rangely, Colorado. According to today's Interagency Resource Representative Crew Report from the Eastern Area Coordination Center they are assigned to Division G doing hotspotting; digging, securing, and holding line. A friend of mine from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS), Division A was kind enough to send me some photos from the Red Canyon Fire and the Spike Camp where NJS#2 is staying while not on the fireline. The photos are courtesy of Roger Kirchner, NJFFS Division A District Fire Warden.

Thank-you NJS#2 crew for working the Red Canyon Fire, you honor New Jersey with your service and I am proud of you. Stay safe.
