I'm looking for some video (probably from a TV station) from the Station Fire, of a federal firefighter, any rank, any agency (USFS, BLM, BIA, NPS, doesn't matter), (but not a PIO - somebody on the line), giving a meaningful safety message. Brush clearance, safety zones, local water supply, etc. If anybody can point me to a link, I'd be very grateful.

"Inverse messages" are fine too - such as "we wouldn't have lost these structures had there been adequate brush clearance" etc.

Thanks! ]]> General Discussion (All Areas) garytx http://www.wildlandfire.com/hotlist/showthread.php?t=12788 http://www.wildlandfire.com/hotlist/showthread.php?t=12787&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:59:37 GMT http://www.standard.net/topics/utah/2009/11/18/former-wildland-firefighter-grant... http://www.standard.net/topics/utah/...ing-fee-waiver

Former wildland firefighter granted filing fee waiver

LAYTON -- The U.S. District Court has granted former wildland firefighter Samuel L. Biers a $500 court filing fee waiver in his multimillion dollar wrongful termination suit against the state, while an independent audit of the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands continues, according to a state official.

Biers' actions have brought upon the division an independent audit of it, and that audit is looking into all the claims and allegations he is making,
,,, etc
,,,

Biers was terminated after he brought to the attention of his supervisors some questionable practices taking place within the department.

While employed with the state, Biers provided to state staff a 26-page report titled "Utah's Firefighters, Public and Wildland Program At-Risk?"

The report questioned decisions made within the department regarding how funds are collected and distributed, the falsification of wildland fire qualifications and the distribution of firefighting equipment.

Biers said he is pleased and hopeful over the court's ruling regarding waiving the filing fee. "I'm always an optimist, regardless." ,,, etc

Just a reminder that nest Wednesday (November 25th) is the anniversary of the tragic Inaja fire, in 1956, on the Cleavland National Forest in San Diego County. 11 firefighters lost their lives while building line down hill with fire below.

Let us not forget them, and the lessons learned from this event. ]]> General Discussion (All Areas) ht http://www.wildlandfire.com/hotlist/showthread.php?t=12785
