- Top watch out situations for firefighters working
on installations.
The obvious number one is safety and unexploded
ordinance always rises to the top of the list as well
as access.
We have to really coordinate closely with our range control
operators to ensure that we don't enter a hot mission space
likewise, that they don't enter our hot mission space,
if we're doing prescribed fire or a wildfire.
There's also airspace, deconfliction and concern
on an Air Force Base like Eglin to make sure
if we have air resources coming in or out to support fire
operations that they're tightly coordinated
with other Air Force missions and, and resources.
There's also a lot of military infrastructure
whether that's just your normal infrastructure, power lines
buried cable, fiber optics, there's more of that
on a military installation just because
of the operations they do,
and there's also a lot of embedded test areas
and base lodging, cantonment areas that are kind of
like small urban interface situations where we have to work
around housing, buildings, radars, different test assets
as well as targets, test assets and targets that
that we just have to protect around,
and you don't often get a briefing on what, what's in and
around those targets.
So we have to do some reconnaissance typically
and then brief the crew, but kind of those three
the UXO, access, airspace issues and the military
infrastructure and test assets, I guess there's four.
