Forest Service (and other fed) Firefighters, please provide the following Survey information:

1. Vacancies by Forest/Ranger District/Fire Station by module type, please provide location.
2. How many engines have been reduced from 7 to 5 day coverage?
3. What is the Crew makeup regarding experience?
   example for each crew:
   a) all trainees in new positions;
   b) mix but with trainees in overhead positions;
   c) seasoned firefighters in most positions.
4. How many Crews, engines, prevention units, dozers, Chief Officers are completely unstaffed?

Please let Ab (abercrombie@wildlandfire.com) or Casey (cjudd@fwfsa.org ) know your forest or district staffing levels by answering the 4 questions above. As always, your identity will remain confidential. This is a way for the compiled information from "boots-on-the-ground" to get to those who are truly working on retention issues.

Many "boots" make light work. Thanks, Ab.
