United States Forest Service

[Aaronw]

I wish I could provide more info but being on the west coast I don't know much about the east coast forests. I would guess they probably have some engines based on 1 - 1.5 ton trucks and a small fire staff, probably relying heavily on the "miltia" (Forest Service employees who do fire on the side).



The website should provide contact info, if you ask to talk with someone in fire management I'm sure they would be wiling to arrange a time for some photos (which I would love to see <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fireman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> ). The USFS version of a fire chief would be the Fire Management Officer, and most that I've met don't bite. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
