maybe their doing what we did in the old days, have a Santa ana stagging. We use to do it at Devore. Ca. I see another wind event set up just off the coast to the north. So we’ll see what 48 hrs show.

How about we let those on the fire run it as they are trained to do and let the process work as it has done for many years.
Now how about back on topic…

But, 1 ounce of prevention is worth all the money it saves in destruction and the aftermath. If paying extra for some resources to “stage” at a going fire, even if it’s not going anywhere, is much cheaper to be a quick reactionary force prepositioned than having a fire go extended and major fire because no equipment is available. I worked in the day when prepositioning and staging resources for an expected event was non-existant. Unless you had a going fire equipment didn’t move. So, today we are moving and staging, or pre-positioning equipment, to hit new starts hard. With technology today we are better at predicting and moving equipment based on predicted events and areas. In my opinion, today’s forces are better prepared and have a definite advantage.

From a Money Perspective it is about 1/3-1/2 cheaper to hire ANY 9,000 series Charlie strike team then most LG Charlies, let alone ANY alpha. Time to demob the Alphas, save money and put to work the Charlies.
