This will be our first year dealing both wildfires, and a global pandemic. There will be challenges to this dynamic situation, and we must prepare. Several of our chiefs went through a base camp drill with one of our trusted caterers, Crown Services and Catering in Scotts Valley, in Santa Cruz County. We learned many lessons, but again, these strategies must be put into practice, and are subject to change. Our goal, as always, is to get everyone home from major incidents safe and healthy!
