Round 3 mobs to Canada getting put together now. A lot of stuff getting ordered, including IMTs. Reports say we will likely see a round 4 of mobs, maybe 5.

The IMT requests are going to be filled as “add hoc” Teams since AD’s, Local Government, and Tribal team members are not going to be allowed, none of the Federal Teams can muster enough people. All the Type 1 and 2 Teams are being polled to see who is able to assist. I think they are trying to field 2 Teams this round.

Is there a Canadian equivalent to this site? I have a few friends who live in the Fort St. John BC area and I would like to read about what’s going on from boots on the ground. (I’ve found a couple government sites but nothing “play-by-play” like we have here.)
TIA

I am not sure. It also happen with deployments to Australia. I am guess it has to do with the language in these international agreements

Air Spray Gulfstream 695B Bird Dog and two Avro RJ85 fire bombers at Eagle Lake in BC, east of highway 95. I might be reading this funny, but , uh, ASB62 might, actually, be an AC95 Jetprop Commander, but, uh, you know, uh, ADS-B, eh?
I really think its a Jetprop Commander…

There has been a 3rd request for a four more crews and overhead that are being shopped right now. A 4th request for overhead and IMTs may come as early as today.

Cali is trying to put together an all fed, non-AD IMT which is not easy to accomplish. Still short on filling all of the positions. It’s a good day to thank a local government or AD IMT member for what they do for us in California. The system would implode without them.

Take this to another level. How many of the federal or even CF IMT’s will be able to .eet the requirements of the upcoming CIM IMT’S with the exclusion of AD or LG?
