If Winters was dispatched as “immediate need” then I would expect that it was an oops in dispatch because I know 334 was dispatched as planned need. The strike team is Grass Valley, South Placer, Roseville, Winters, and one other that I didn’t catch. It also has OES WT-42 attached to it as a single resource from Nevada County. Grass Valley Capt Bundy is the STEN

Believe it was Woodbridge-383

For many years, CAL FIRE has had a mechanism to up-staff and/or move- up resources in advance of predictable events. Although local government makes up >80% of resources on major incidents, there has not been a means to pre-position LG resources. A coalition was established after the Tubbs Fire to modernize the Mutual Aid System. More info can be found at:

This was pre-position for Nevada County, OES 4814 A assigned.
Any chance you could cite your source for this?

Are there any other counties pre-positioning or pre-deploying strike teams today? XCC has a pre-assembled Charlie ST who is “covering” in county…

They are moving a S/T of the OES T-3’s from Sacramento to Woodland? What is that going to gain maybe a
45 minutes to an incident on the west side of the valley? Does not seem to be the most fiscally sound move IMHO.
45 min is huge if you just need a few more engs

Correct me if I’m wrong, a pre-positioned strike team is available to roll code 3 within 3 minutes of dispatch. Pretty much the same as an engine rolling out of the bay from tone-out. A pre-positioned team is now already formed up as a team, all 5 engines and the STL in one location, and positioned strategically, in this case outside of Sac Metro traffic and in a spot where it can instantly commit to I5, 505, 80, 20, 99.
