White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) is located in northern New Hampshire (and southern Maine IIRC) - 6,000 foot high Mount Washington is located within the WMNF
There is some info listed under White Mtn FD at http://www.firenews.org/nh/w/whitemt/whitemtnh.html I am not sure if it matches the following info or not ------------------------- https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/whitemountain/about-forest/offices 71 White Mountain Drive in Campton NH - Superintendants Office (SO) and Pemigewasset Ranger District 300 Glen Road in Gorham NH - Androscoggin Ranger District 33 Kancamagus Highway Conway, NH 03818 - Saco Ranger District The "Forest Supervisor" (located at the SO) is the top guy for the entire Forest - he is the head of the entire organization (fire, resource mgmt, planning, mtnce, etc) The Ranger Districts are subordinate to the SO If you go to http://www.wildcad.net/WCNH-NEC.htm and click on Resource Status on the left side - you will see the following - Pemi District - BC1 - E601 - E741 Andro District - BC2 - E602 - E721 - Initial Attack Trailer WMF Supervisors Office - Chief 1 ("Forest FMO") note - no resources listed for Saco Ranger District I would guess that E601 and E602 are Type 6 brush engines with 300 gallon water tanks E701 and E702 are probably Type 7 engines - probably a 100 gallon slip on unit mounted on a pickup truck during extreme fire danger BC1 and BC2 are probably "District Fire Management Officers" - maybe full year employees - like a Batt Chf in a city FD The 'GMF' units are Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont - if they need more help with a fire they probably have to call over to the WMNF SO at Campton to order it - therefore we have the name Northeastern Interagency Coordination Center - maybe all the Natl Parks in Maine and MA are supposed to place major fire resource orders thru them also The Hummer is apparently at Manchester Vermont on the GMF. There is a Ranger District office there IIRC. "Fuels 1" is probably used for prescribed fire work but probably can be used for firefighting also. On the WMNF - the chain of command for wildfire fire management runs like this - Forest Superintendant -> Chief 1 -> (BC1 and BC2) - [very simple - same as any city FD - just different names for the positions) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
