Transitional staffing in the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit

San Andreas, CA...On Monday, October 15, 2007, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) will begin transitional staffing in the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit (TCU). This includes the Counties of Calaveras, Tuolumne, and those eastern portions of San Joaquin and Stanislaus that are within the State Responsibility Area....

Those fire stations that have two engines staffed during fire season are to be down-staffed to one engine. All one engine stations will remain open and staffed. At Columbia Air Attack Base, the air attack plane and two air tankers will go off contract. Helicopter 404 will remain staffed as needed. TCU’s two bulldozers will remain staffed. Baseline and Vallecito Conservation Camps will have normal staffing Monday through Friday, with a minimum of one crew at each camp on the weekends.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
