Here a few sample images from Staging. The whole world is here to help. I have seen engines from Aspen, Gig Harbor (Washington State), Huckleberry (Idaho), and small depts.. from dotting New Mexico as well any California Fire dept who can muster breathing bodies. Last night there must have been over a hundred fire trucks, water tenders, fire crews and support team lined up ready to be mobilized.
Sorry I do not have any images from our (Strike team XCZ 6331 - Santa Cruz County) specific efforts but we are working at night protecting homes and strengthening fire lines (mop-up).
Take care and hope to send more images soon!
Side note - the fist night we slept in a prison (mind you it was minimal security, but razor wire and high fences are still a bit unnerving), last night we slept on the fire line, tonight it is in a gym (got to love those hard wood floors). Food has been remarkably digestive and the team work / positive attitude has been admirable.
