Am I missing something here? What’s burning in the State that a Type 1 team is needed?

CIIMT5 - Young (Type 1 Fed Team) has been mobilized. I don’t know if this mobilization is for the Quarter Fire or preposition.

The National Sit Report this morning shows the Bighorn Incident in Arizona ordering a type 1 team off the national rotation, no doubt it is CIIMT 5.

The Quarter Fire had an order for a Type 1 Long Team in IROC that shows cancelled and a Type 1 Short Team that’s pending. But it looks like they released all the tankers on that fire so probably will be cancelled I assume?
