CHIEFS REPORT

Hello everyone, on the 10th of August the Southwest Team 3 will officially be done with the incidents here. I would like to express my gratitude to all of the team members and contractors and other personnel that have been involved in the containment of these fires. Also for the folks that were not on the line of how much they contributed to everyone. All the planning, the food, the supplies, the medical crews. You need to have all these to make the whole thing work. The amount of hours all of these folks put in are extremely appreciated. I have heard from more than one of these folks about how nice it was to be in such a friendly valley and to be treated with respect. They came in and doubled our population and wanted to make sure that they treated everyone respectfully. There were some tense times, but they were worked through. Thank you to everyone that made this incident just a little less stressful.
