Rainier crews preparing for wildfires.

With temperatures predicted to be 90-100 degrees this coming week, the Rainier A shift crew spent part of the morning refreshing on the operation of our "Type VI" brush rig. This small, agile engine has the ability to travel roads and open areas which are ordinarily not able to be accessed by our larger "Type I" fire engines. The forecasted weather drastically increases the liklihood of us being called to fight a wildland fire.
