 Well, I hope that exercise generated some interesting discussion. For those of you that felt this area was too dangerous to mop up, how did you go about refusing the assignment? It's always a difficult situation when you're given an assignment that you just don't feel comfortable with. To help you out, the Incident Response Pocket Guide has a section on how to properly refuse risk. Feel free to refer to it as we hear from a hot shot superintendent in Alaska talk about refusing an assignment. In down assignments, none up here. I've suggested other ways of going around and accomplishing the same objective, which I don't consider refusing an assignment. I just brought up the idea that that's not a good idea of reaching that objective this way. Well, if a person feels like their crew can't accomplish that or their resources can't accomplish an assignment, then they shouldn't be doing it. That doesn't necessarily mean that somebody who's more experienced can go and do it. But on the other hand, it's a pretty tough area there. As a division superfiasc one crew to do it and he turns it down, that crew turns it down and another crew says they can do it. How am I sure that that person can? We should all be, all the IHCs should be fairly knowledgeable on everything. If one of the IHCs turns something down in a perfect world, nobody should re-evaluate. The only place I see any difference is location. I've fought fire in the Southwest a lot, but I'm not as comfortable as somebody who does it every day. I have to go in and get acclimated. Then yeah, if I haven't done it every day, every year, or I haven't done it in three or four years, I'm not going to be as comfortable.
