While at this fire 5 crews arrived from South East and Eastern States (Kentucky, Virginia and Pennsylvania), mostly State and Federal Forestry employees.
Typically large SUVs and crew cab pickups are rented for out of area crews, but due to the large number of resources decending on Oregon and Washington, there was a shortage of larger rental vehicles so this Kentucky crew had to do with rather more cramped accommodations. Four firefighters and their gear were crammed into the soccer mom SUV in the foreground.
