Probably staging for saw work or supporting Receiving & Distribution Centers.
I don’t know…I was at TX- Columbia Shuttle Recovery, MS- Deepwater Horizon & NY-Hurricane Sandy and I never felt I was working outside of my job description.

Same here Katrina 3 tours and 1 shuttle recovery. FS Fire can bring a lot of horsepower and organization to large scale incidents. That’s why we are the lead for ESF 4 of the stafford act. We are not just ditch diggers as the FS leadership thinks.

I don’t know - gridding for tar balls on the Gulf Coast coast or metal parts in West Texas made ditch digging look pretty good at the time!
