I still see 15 "Any Type’ Strike Team pending for the Dixie. I think many depts are already strapped due to staffing, equipment, vacancies, etc. I know a few depts that had to UTF the requests in their areas.
OES 6848 just reassigned to Dixie from bootleg fire.
Maybe they worried about fast movement in the Rush Creek area to the east?
