BIA Wildland Fire Management - Navajo Region
2 hrs
The Navajo Interagency Hotshot Crew (IHC) received a resource order for preposition to Charlotte, North Carolina. This is part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 4, Hurricane Dorian support. They will be in place tomorrow in anticipation of supporting local Emergency Management Services (EMS) with any damage that Hurricane Dorian may inflect. Since the decrease in wildland fire activity, and the hurricane season starting, Interagency wildland fire resources are often called upon to assist. We wish them a safe assignment.
Also Brian Trascher, the spokesperson for the Cajun Navy, was on Tucker.
They are getting ready to move out to go help in any way they can.
Feel it is their duty as so much help was given to them during and after Katrina.
