Lance is currently assigned to the Grass Valley Fire. They are at a base camp located at Rim of the World High School somewhere off Highway 18. They are sharing base camp with the Slide Fire. The strike team leader is John Ritchey of Santa Cruz Central Fire, and the Asst. Strike Team Leader is Jim Delucchi of Aptos Fire.
Last night they pulled stumps all night on Division A and they are back in base camp getting a full nights sleep tonight. Lance says there is lots of hurry up and wait.
The engines on the team are Ben Lomond 2211, Aptos/La Selva 3511, La Honda 357, County Fire 3920, and UCSC 2710. While three of the Engines are type 1, 3920 is a type 2 and 357 is a type 3. That makes them a little tough to attach to an assignment.
Their incident is being run by a Type 1 IMT (Incident Management Team) that is also running the Slide Fire. Their fire is at about 95% contained and they expect to be reassigned or released tomorrow.
