 Hello, my name is Joe Lowe. I'm the Division Director for the South Dakota Division of Wildland Fire Suppression. In this video, you will be learning about the tactics meeting, the planning meeting, and the operations briefing. The planning process provides the following benefits. It enhances safety, it clarifies roles, it communicates the objectives of the incident commander, it provides a base against which progress can be measured, it solves problems during the planning process, problems are identified and solved, it allows for predictions and forecasting, and above all, it builds stronger teams. Let's take a look at the ICS forums used in the tactics meeting. The purpose of the ICS forum 215 operations planning worksheet is to communicate the decisions made during the planning meeting concerning resource assignments to the resource unit. The worksheet is used by the resource unit to complete assignment lists and by the logistic section for ordering resources for the incident. The information entered on the forum by the operations section chief is later used on the ICS 204 forum. We will now give you instruction on completing an ICS 215 operational planning worksheet. In box one, print the name assigned to the incident. In box two, enter the date and time prepared. In box three, enter the time interval for which the information applies, and record the start and end date and time for the operational period. In box four, enter the division, letter, or location of the work assignment for the resource. In box six, five, enter the specific work assignments given to each of the divisions. In box six, we are going to record resources. First, complete the resource headings, both the kind and type appropriate for the incident. Enter for the appropriate resources the number of resources by type and the number of resources available. Then record the number of resources needed. In box seven, enter the specific location the needed resources are to report for the work assignments. In box eight, request the time of arrival. In box nine, enter the total number of resources by type required on hand and ordered. In box ten, record the name and position for the person completing the film. The purpose of the ICS Form 215A, Incident Safety Analysis, is to identify and mitigate any safety issues identified in the planning meeting. This form is filled out by the incident safety office. We will now give you instruction on how to fill out an incident safety analysis. In box one, list the incident name. Box two, the date. Box three, the time. The bottom of the form is pretty self-explanatory. The bottom of the form is used to identify safety risks and the mitigation for the identified risk. Realize that individual management teams conduct their meetings with subtle differences. Guidance is furnished in your course materials as to the essential topics to be covered in each meeting. Let's take a look at those involved in an actual tactics meeting and have them tell you what the responsibility is. I'm Steve Hosneral. I'm the planning section chief. I'm responsible for facilitating the tactics meeting. I ensure that all required functions are present and that all the information captured on the organizational planning worksheet, the 215A, and the incident safety analysis, the 215A, is accurate and complete because that information is vital for completion of the incident action plan, the IAP, for the next operational period. The operation section chief plays a key role at this meeting. So let's talk to an operation section chief and see what he does. I'm the operation section chief. The operation section chief plays a major role in the tactics meeting. Prior to the meeting, I gather information from the division group supervisors and the branch directors. I use that information to formulate the tactics that will be needed on each division and group in the next operational period. Then I come into the meeting with that information and fill out a form called the ICS Form 215. The ICS Form 215 is called the operational planning worksheet. The second step in the tactics meeting then is to meet with the safety officer. The operations and the safety officer then communicate back and forth in a direct fashion in order to identify and mitigate any safety hazards. They do that communication process by filling out a form called the ICS Form 215A. Then lastly to conclude the tactics meeting, the final step is to make sure that the operation section chief is communicating too with the logistics section chief and the planning section chief in order to make sure that all functions can support the plan as planned for the next operational period. The resource unit leader is also important. Let's find out what that person is responsible for. Hello I'm the resource unit leader. I work in the planning section. My function at the tactics meeting is to work with the operation section chief on the ICS 215 operational planning worksheet. I gather information on required resources for the incident and reconcile resource orders to be sure all equipment and personnel are available for the next operational shift. Safety is always the first priority on an incident. Let's find out what the role of the safety officer is in this meeting. My name is Gail Geyer and I'm this incident safety officer. My role in the tactics meeting is to basically monitor the operations section chief and their planning process or the 215 process. What I do is I make sure that their tactics are sound and that all safety hazards can be mitigated. I work with them and we try to make sure that the operations plan for the next operational period is done safely and it also accomplishes the goals that they want to accomplish. During that process I develop the incident risk analysis and identify hazards that will occur during that operational period and then I go and assist them in making the plan work. The logistics section chief's function at the tactics meeting is as follows. Personnel and logistical support factors must be considered in determining tactical operations. Lack of logistical support can mean the difference between success and failure. If the required tactical resources will not be available then an adjustment should be made to the tactics and operations being planned for the operational period. Lack of available resources could require a reassessment of tactics and perhaps the overall strategy. You have now seen a tactics meeting. Take a minute to review with your groups what you've seen in this video. We have seen how a tactics meeting is conducted. The next meeting is the planning meeting. This is where the plan is ratified. Welcome to the 1400 planning meeting. I'm the planning section chief. Reminder if you could turn your radios down. Cell phones off please. We'll start with incident objectives. They're posted up here on the board. They haven't changed. We'll start with incident situation. Field operations section chief. Good afternoon. Current status on the fire starting around in division alpha. We've got the dozer line in place. Crews are continuing to mop up and then prove up to drop for the division break in bravo. Vision Bravo the line is in place for the most part but we're continuing to do some burnout as we have a lot of unburned fuel between the fire line and the fire itself. Division Charlie same thing. We're bringing our dozer line down from the division break trying to marry up with division bravo. Coming around into division Yankee this line is in and crews are patrolling and mopping up 100 foot in along the existing forest service roads and coming around into division Zulu. This is looking real good and we're basically patrolling and mopping up 100 foot in there also. Weather incident meteorologist. Good afternoon the predicted fire weather for tomorrow. We'll start out with partly to mostly sunny skies in the morning and then a chance for thunderstorms in the afternoon and those will be the scattered variety. The winds will be northeast tomorrow and then as the day goes on they're going to switch into the southeast at five to 15 miles per hour in the afternoon. Max temps tomorrow will be 87 to 90. Minimum RH 30% and that should occur between 1 and 2pm. Chance precipitation is 30%. Chance of wetting rain will be right around 10% and just as a heads up the day after tomorrow we're looking at the potential for red flag conditions with hotter drier windier weather. Any questions? I have one question with regards to the wind shift for tomorrow. Have you pinpointed that time more specifically or? Right now we're looking at the wind shift to begin to occur around 1pm around 1300 and then probably by late afternoon we're looking at around 3pm. We'll pick up that pretty brisk southeast wind at 5 to 15. Thanks. Fire behavior? Fire behavior analyst? Our previous fire behavior during the daytime we looked at the fire has run with the wind and slope mainly to the north with some torching short ground runs and spotting. Overnight mainly confined to surface fire with burnout operation that occurred. There was some isolated torching and resulted in some short range spotting also. The heavy fuels are very dry. Live fuels are drought stressed and they're still going to remain at critical levels. With the topography your steep ground is going to be on the north and the east sides of the fire. What we're looking at overall with the fire is predicted spotting potential is fairly moderate in all the divisions. In your line divisions you've got good opportunity to mop up in alpha, Yankee and Zulu. Should be just creeping and smoldering fire behavior with the heavy fuels as they burn continue to burn. Watch for an undetected spot out in this rough country over here though that's going to be your main concerns. Looking at and Bravo and Charlie mainly backing fire behavior a good opportunity to burn out and clean that line up early. Watch for the wind shifts though. Any questions? Division assignments? Planning operations section chief? Thanks a lot. What we've seen coming at us for fire weather and our fire behavior combined with our current fire status out here we've built a pretty good plan to accommodate for tomorrow's day shift. We're looking at again setting up our our divisions, divisions Alpha, Bravo and Charlie to finish constructing our dozer lines and pushing in more safety zones in there for our crews that will be working in there. At the same time as we move through the division Yankee down through division Zulu and we'll pick up some the existing forest service system roads and work our fire line off that. Our plan our plan shows that we're in divisions Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Yankee and Zulu just right up here on the board. Our big concern right now is ensuring the work rest guidelines with regards to our dozer bosses. We have some couple unfilled orders for dozer bosses out there. We want to make sure that we can get those filled we can keep those dozers going. Both night shift dozers and day shift dozers so that's our big our big concern there is to make sure that we keep our dozers going. We're looking pretty good for other overhead orders that that were coming in there. So looking at looking at the plan I think we've built up a pretty good day shift plan for for tomorrow based on what we've got coming at us for our fire weather. Is there any questions? Air operations, Air Operations Branch Director. Thank you, Rob. Good afternoon. The aircraft status for tomorrow's operational period is that we have we got two heavy air tankers tanker 2-2, tanker 1-6. There'll be a station at Rapid City heavy air tanker base and we have two single-engine air tankers at the Spearfish Airport. There'll be tanker 4-6-1 and tanker 4-6-2. Along with them we have a lead, it'd be lead 8-8, which is stationed at the heavy air tanker base in Rapid City. And also we have two air attacks that will give us continuous coverage over the incident. The first be one Alpha Bravo and six three Foxtrot are the air attacks. The heavy air tankers and the seats are able to fly at 0900 tomorrow morning and the air attacks will be off at 0800 off of Rapid City. We also have one Type 3 helicopter and safety as we discussed earlier. It's a five mic Alpha. It's going to be dedicated also to Medabac. And what we've set up is a helispot here off of Highway 14A and Camp 5 road for a helispot if there's a Medabac needed that that aircraft can come in there and pick pick up whatever's needed needed to be done there. And also for observation flights for IC or for operations we'll do the same. We'll use this H1 helispot right there to get picked up. Also that ship that helicopter is going to be dedicated for water drops also so it'll have a water bucket on it. And the Type 1 helicopter that was requested, I requested it to be a standard category helicopter so it can do water drops. And also if you need to move personnel around the fire as a standard category helicopter it can do that. Logistics as we discussed earlier I moved the helibase to the Spurfish Airport to combine the single engineer tanker operation and the helibase all in one area. And for the making the requests for water bucket drops with the helicopters if the divisions could go through air attack means they're going to be on station to order that aircraft. We have a TFR in place safety it's at five miles and 2008 GL. Any questions? Just one real quick question is that helispot pretty easy to see from the road or is you got it marked pretty well flagged down there or what? Yes sir and we'll have the helispot insignia right here right off there's a you can see there's a two track right here just north of the campground and the helispot insignia will be right there the marking will be there so that you can find that. Okay thank you. Any other questions? Thank you. Just one question as far as a helispot it's right near the highway and I just was wondering is there going to be a lot of usage in that helispot I'm kind of concerned about the public stopping along the highway and problems we might have with that. Good question. Yes I noticed on my way in here to the meeting that there's a barricade right here with a highway patrol trooper on it and as long as that stays in place we shouldn't have any impact there at all but yes it is visible from the highway so that's something that we'll have to keep an eye on and we will have a helicopter crew member there receiving that helicopter to load and unload passengers so it'll be covered there it'll be a manned helispot good sounds good okay any other questions thank you safety officer good afternoon I was out here this morning and got a good look around I think things are really going good in general haven't really seen much as far as uh as any safety concerns out there there's a few things I just want to bring bring towards you a lot of that is on the 215a over here and you guys can take a look at that after the meeting the main concerns out there are snags it's a big issue there's a lot of snags out there and I discuss the situation with ops and I think they're going to mitigate that very well the other situation is communications we've had some issues with communications out there there's a lot of dead zones and we've been talking a little bit with the communications folks and I think they're going to mitigate that and they'll probably talk we got that second repeater in this morning and it's being put up on pillar peak right now and it should be on the 205 this evening good so it'll be operational tomorrow okay so the only concern there would be uh tomorrow we want to make sure that that all the operations people uh check out that communications and make sure that there isn't any additional dead spots that we might have to mitigate and I think that'll take care of that uh the other concern is as ICP is located right across the highway from the fire and there's a lot of uh you know as long as that that roadblock stays in place we'll be okay but if that roadblock's lifted we need to be aware of it and we need to make our people aware of it so that they uh they don't get mixed up with the civilians that are being traveling back and forth across the highway uh the only other can the only other thing I want to bring up is is uh the logistics end of thing camp looks really good but I just did a cursory look through camp and so tomorrow I'll probably doing a full blown uh review of the camp and I don't think we're going to have any problems at all you're doing a great job and we appreciate it thank you logistics section chief as far as logistics just a couple points I know we've got some uh outstanding resource orders but as you all know we're competing against other incidents and we're not high on the priority list I do have one confirmed those are boss should be in by 1600 today for you operations I'll have an update at the 1500 conference call with expanded on the other outstanding resource orders as far as cash items Rocky Mountain cash trucks should be in this night about midnight so if everything goes well we'll have your line orders filled and out there to you about oh 900 tomorrow morning and on the repeater issue uh just a reminder that once we get that repeater up we'll need to come back in and get everybody cloned up in the morning so it may delay the progress for some of your folks in the morning get into the line any questions for logistics yeah I just got one issue as far as water goes do we have plenty of water available for tomorrow on the next day is we got plenty of water gale we've got reefer full of ice a true 40 foot reefer full of ice and uh six pallets of water on hand with standing orders so we should be real good shape as far as our water and our power aid and gatorade type drinks okay good any other questions finance section chief in finance we're doing okay um we've got everything is going really smooth one thing that I want to draw your attention to is to make sure that you guys get your CTRs in a timely fashion another concern that I have and maybe we can just handle this after the meeting but I would like to visit with Laverne about the land and who's owns that property so that we make sure we get the appropriate agreements in place public information officer good afternoon we've had a great deal of interest from the media with this fire so we've had escorts on a daily basis I expect that to continue although we have had some issues and some reports where media has showed up on the line without PPE or being escorted operations if you could let your divisions know to contact me on the radio I'll be monitoring it so we can go out and get them back to camp I've also posted an information officer in the housing project that's located in this area is that they seem to be affected by our fire and they have a great deal interest so they are there answering questions any questions for me liaison officer good afternoon we've only had one problem that I've heard of from our assisting and cooperating agencies and that was an issue with barricades resulted from a communication problem between the highway patrol and the sheriff's department that issue has been resolved and barricades will be manned 24 hours per day any questions agency administrators state of South Dakota thank you just had one question for operations as you're putting the plan together you identified a number of engines are you maximizing the use of local volunteer fire departments for those engines we're trying to in any way shape or possible maximize that use of the local vfds how however we're trying to recognize the fact that there is some initial attack issues going on too we want to hold some engines back for that okay thanks United States Forest Service Jim I just wanted to say thanks for releasing as many resources as you as you could as quick as possible to get our initial attack forces back up we still are trying to track down a couple of dozer bosses for you to help out okay great thanks a lot supported the plan operations yes air operations safety logistics finance public information officer plans will support the plan reminders night operations briefing 1800 next planning meeting we'll be tomorrow morning well 900 we need IAP components at 1900 I see do you support the plan I support closing comments real quick you know I've done a good job so far we have one thing each one of you and your different sections I want you to start looking real hard at the end at your folks and make sure they're compliant with the work rest guidelines and we start moving back to get in compliance okay thank you thanks for your participation in the planning meeting we'll see you at the next one you have just seen a planning meeting please review with your group the material that was presented in the video the last meeting that we will take a look at is an operations briefing let's take a look at one that is now in progress good morning welcome to the 0600 operational briefing I'm the planning section chief please shut off radios and cell phones and we'll get started incident objectives we haven't posted up here in the board they haven't changed since the last operational period we'll start with current situation night operation section chief good morning we had a good shift last night conditions were favorable and going around starting in division alpha we completed our dozer line going up to the bravo break cruiser improving that in division bravo our dozer line was taken off down this drainage and we're bringing fire along with us and continuing to construct dozer line as we still have open fire line in bravo also in charlie our dozer line is coming from the top from the from the north end working towards the charlie bravo break a lot of uncontrolled fire line here crews are are bringing fire with that with the dozers in division yankee this line is is in is complete using existing road systems and crews are mopping up and also in division zulu the road systems for service road systems that we use for a line crews are this is holding well and crews are mopping up 100 feet in fire weather incident meteorologist thank you good morning weather summary for the fire area today expecting sunny conditions this morning becoming partly sunny this afternoon with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms maximum temperature should be about 92 degrees on the fire minimum relative humidity 20 wind northeast this morning five to ten miles per hour becoming southeast at five to ten uh this afternoon with gusty and erratic winds in the vicinity of any thunderstorms probably the precipitation is about 30 this afternoon ains and decks is five um l al is one this morning and then three this afternoon there is red flag a red flag warning in effect for the fire area tomorrow for hot dry and windy conditions any questions thanks fire behavior fire behavior analyst as you heard from the iMET we should have some pretty favorable conditions overall today but watch for the wind shift and erratic winds around the thunderstorms will be a challenging day tomorrow what we've seen on this fire generally has been a potential for strong uphill runs with short crown runs torching spotting during the heat of the day when the slope and the heavy fuels have combined without that combination we've generally seen it remain at the surface our most challenging terrain is on the north and the east sides we've got numerous chutes and steep ground and in the broken topography on the west side there's still some steep areas but it's more of a continuous slope the fuels are very dry the erc's are going to be at 63 today which is above the 90th percentile and please review the pocket card attached in the iap in general what we're looking at is moderate surface fire working its way down the hill by backing and flanking and it should remain within the capability of engines crews and dozers for direct attack in divisions bravo and charlie specifically look at surface fire with moderate rates of spread fire will continue to work its way down towards the control line good opportunity to burn out line early but you need to be done before the afternoon wind shifts and and thunderstorms need to manage your intensity of your burning to reduce the risk of torching and associated spotting in divisions yankee zulu and alpha we're going to be looking at good opportunities to mop up looking at creeping and smoldering as the heavy fuels continue to burn one thing you have to watch for is a risk of uh something taken off an undetected spot that gets into that steep ground you're going to need to have engines dozers or aircraft to contain the heads of any of those spots should be able to go direct on the flanks and the heel though for air operations the smoke should lift out early today but watch out for the winds around the thunderstorms they could hamper your operations for safety remember to base all your actions on current expected fire behavior when wind slope and maximum solar heating combine you'll expect a large increase in the rates of spread and and flame lengths one thing we want to do is to continue to relay our weather ops back to the icp through communications and have a good safe day plan for the operational period day operations section chief thanks morning uh as you can see from our discussion of the fire weather and fire behavior we got a pretty serious days work ahead of us here we'll start it off with with division alpha uh division alpha soup okay we have our division group supervisor right there i want you to hold your breakout over on the east side of the parking lot there and do a roll call out that time if the rest of you division group soups out there uh just ensure to hold your roll call at your assigned breakout area and uh moving with uh with division alpha i want you to start working at drop point two there start working your way north just right just right up to just right up to drop point three you'll be able to hold that fire on those existing forest service system roads so you have a pretty good day's work ahead of there for you there looking for division bravo supervisor okay um your assigned breakout area will be on the south side of the parking lot there and uh you're going to have pretty much the hot side of the fire there you and division charlie start from drop point three pick up those dozers been working night shift get those folks swapped out there start pushing in line north try to go as as direct as possible and keep one foot in the black as you're as you're going up there i'll be going out and seeing your side of the line here soon as soon as you guys get started there for the rest of the day uh moving up north to division charlie okay on division charlie you'll be meeting over on the west side of the parking lot there and uh you'll be coming in over at uh drop point one should be picking up a night operational period dozer has been working all night in there make sure we get those crews swapped out and start to work your forces and picking it up there uh hopefully fire conditions are okay we can use mario reconnaissance for you and find where bravo and charlie can meet in there in order to tie in our lines moving over to a division yankee okay for a division yankee your breakout will be over on the north side of the parking lot and uh you've got a pretty cold side of the fire there for today uh look out for that anticipated wind shift uh you do have some some spot fires i want you to check on that i've been across the line and if you can they've held the fire to the existing forest service system roads in there and you can continue to hold that and that should work out for the days operational period there and moving over to division zulu okay um for division zulu your breakout area will be just right outside the doors here those big those big double doors of the building and uh for division zulu they've made some good work the last 48 hours and holding that fire to the existing forest service system roads in there and hopefully you'll be able to take your resources get them put out to drop point two and work them up to uh to division yankee so i'm looking forward to a good day's work out there division soups have your uh next next incident operational shift needs into me by uh 1200 hours and um is there any questions air operations air operations branch director thank you good morning um if you turn to your air operations summary in your incident action plans um in the remarks section i've addressed some issues in there that we need to work with uh your division group supervisors please request all the aircraft through air attack if you would please and also the the helibase has been moved uh where we previously were yesterday uh over here on this intersection we've moved it to spearfish and we've replaced that helibase with a helispot um the medevac helicopter will be five mic alpha and um also it's going to be a uh used for water drops but also it's for medevac and we're going to use uh the helispot one for pickup at that location um we have a tfr in place for the fire it's five miles radius from the center of the fire in 2000 feet altitude above ground level and the frequencies are air to ground uh division supervisors if you could double check and make sure your people all have that one seven zero point zero zero zero in their radios for air to ground and if not uh they can go over the communications unit and get the radios cloned before they go out um fixed wing aircraft we have on the incident today we got two heavy air tankers they'll be available at zero nine hundred they're at the rapid city air tanker base uh tanker two two and tanker one six and uh we have two single engineer tankers uh tanker four six one and tanker four six two they're at the spearfish um helibase and seat base there at the airport and they're available also at zero nine hundred um we have a lead plane lead eight eight they'll be working with them fixed wing aircraft and also uh we have two air attacks today on the incident so we have continuous coverage and they're available at zero eight hundred they will be over the incident zero eight hundred it's uh lead or excuse me air attack one alpha bravo and uh six three fox trot are the two air attack platforms that we have and then again five mic alpha is uh dedicated to water drops and so um they're also available at zero nine hundred they'll be off is there any questions thank you safety message safety officer good morning uh just want to really thank you for having a very safe incident so far you're doing a great job and just keep it up now there's a few uh hazards out there that i want you to make make you aware of uh one of the biggest hazards we got out there are snags we got snags all over the place uh when you're going into a new area be sure and and check out the area for snags and either flag them out or take them down and mitigate it before you have crews working in those areas the other situation we have out there is is communications are here is pretty good right now but there may be some dead spots so uh be sure and check those uh areas out if you have a dead spot establish a human repeater so that we can make uh have good communications the other thing is is highway 14 just outside the building here it's it's a really heavily traveled road right now we've got roadblocks in place but uh just don't count on that happening throughout the day you may wind up uh they may be opening those things up here later on this afternoon so watch out for that traffic on that major highway the other thing i've noticed out there is is uh long division yankee and zulu that road in there it's got a lot of steep ground above it there's a lot of rocks coming down the road you'll probably see them uh they're pretty good size so be careful when you're going through that area oh if you have to park along there be sure and get well out of the way and try to do it in such a manner so that if anything comes down those slopes uh it won't be either hitting you or your vehicles the thunderstorms that we may get this afternoon that can cause a lot of erratic winds wind shifts and increase in wind speeds so be very careful when you see those thunderstorms coming in uh our meteorologists will probably give us a warning and a heads up if that if those do develop so be careful establish lookouts and make sure that you have that covered if that's if that situation should occur far as their operations go just want to reiterate uh when we start getting some heavy tankers in there bucket drops be sure and brief your crews ahead of time on proper procedures and make sure you stay clear of where those operations are occurring the other thing it's going to get warm it's going to be really dry today so be sure and hydrate and use plenty of water and i think logistics may cover that a little bit further in their briefing the other thing is is we want to make sure that you understand that uh you know i'm just a safety officer here you guys make it happen you're the ones that are out there and be sure and make sure that lces in place lookouts communications escape routes and safety zones establish that before you start your day and make sure that's known to everyone and you all have a great day and we'll see this evening logistics message logistics section chief thank you and good morning uh first of all i want to remind all you division troops to make sure your crews pick up their noon meals at the proper places over certain meals make sure they have their breakfast right away this morning next thing will be make sure they get their ice into water uh that's hot out there we don't want them getting dehydrated and we do have plenty of ice and water for uh make sure they stay hydrated the other one will be if you have any tools or equipment that you've uh requested and ordered make sure you stop over at the end out there staging area where we have our white truck parked and pick up your tools and supplies you ordered yesterday when you came in they should all be there ready before you go and bring in your ones that you've broke or need to replace uh with that uh have a safe day medical unit leader good morning we've seen a number of cases of poison ivy especially in division bravo and charlie so when i heads up on that um i printed out some information and pictures on the poison ivy plant those will be posted both in the medical unit and throughout camp can't stress enough you need to stay hydrated out there plenty of water gatorade power drinks available so make sure you're drinking plenty of fluids also you've seen uh there are numerous hand washing stations located in camp please use those identify your emt's uh on both crews and engines when you're working out there in your divisions in case of a medical emergency make sure that you refer to the medical plan in the iap use those procedures uh report any injuries to the medical unit and is there any questions for the medical unit thank you communications unit leader there'll be a change in the calm plan today we got a second repeater set up over here on pillar peak so them dead spots and divisions charlie and bravo should be taken care of that'll be on channel seven uh we're going to have to reclone the radios today to coincide with the calm plan if you have any communications issues or anything bring them up to our tensions or one of our techs thank you finance message finance section chief good morning please turn in your ctrs at the end of each operational period at the finance section and the state fire number for those of you who do not know is ffm zero six four zero nine six and the federal number is p2b six th and if you have any questions on completing the ctrs please come to finance and we'll help you and for those of you i just want to make everybody aware that on the information boards that are around camp there are lists of people that we need to see in finance that we have questions on your ctrs or on your contract or whatever just please come check with us thanks information message information officer good morning we have had a great deal of interest from the media on this fire and we are escorting them we have had some reports of media out on the line without escorts and without their ppe division soups if you get reports of that please just holler i'm monitoring the radio and i'll come out and escort them in we've also had questions coming out of the community we spent a lot of time out into the community with the folks around the area they're very pleased with the job you guys are doing i wanted to let you know that and they're um thrilled to have you here working on the fire also we've established some bulletin boards around camp so there'll be information from finance and uh safety up on those boards and please
