Yesterday, with the help of the Greater Eagle Fire Protection District we sent out our first firefighter on an out of district wildland deployment. Tanner Perkins is working with a crew from GEFPD. We are excited for the opportunities to grow our wildland program and help when there is a call for duty. These members must commit up to 18 days before returning home. A big commitment. Stay safe out there.
Recently learned we had a hot shot crew back in the 80’s and sent out volunteers into the early 2000’s.
Tanner is an asset to any team he joins. Exemplary work ethic, humble leadership, and high competency. Powerful combination. Keep it up T.
Good luck Tanner. Your in our prayers
