Boulder Mountain Fire’s Wildfire Crew had a busy dispatch season. The season started off early for us as we had our Type 6 Engine dispatched to the Calf Canyon Fire outside of Taos, New Mexico in May. From there the crew and engine served several dispatch rolls in Southern California near the Bakersfield area. In total, we ended up with seven dispatch rolls and ended up with a wealth of knowledge and experiences from the season. The wildfire crew also went out with Boulder County’s Type 2 Initial Attack hand crew, Shadow Canyon, for several rolls across the Western United States. Overall, it was a successful season of assisting with fire suppression and staying safe while doing the job at hand.
