Interesting topic tonight. Here in southern Alberta, we use a combination of resources. Volunteer departments handle cropland and highway fires. Fires in the foothills and mountains usually involve provincial lands and forest Dept. During fire season, equipment is staged at several wildfire bases, along with personnel. Typical camp is 3 dozers, a high hoe, water truck, and cat boss with a side by side. Personnel will be a mix of govt people and contract crews. The equipment is privately owned, and paid a stand-by rate when waiting. Fire fighting is often done with bucket equipped choppers, followed by the cat crew, and foot sloggers. Our provincial govt went lefty last election, and there are rumours that they want to replace private equipment with govt owned. It may be an interesting summer.unc
