overview red and black flames are city stations with 3 or 4 man rigs in each station blue are the county fire stations - all have paid men - 95% have call men also - the blue flames have 2 paid guys on duty 24/7 - the blue circles have 1 paid guy on duty 24/7 - each county station has at least 1 engine and 1 tanker the 3 purple stations are combined city / county stations - with 1 county paid guy on duty 24/7 backed up local city and / or county call men or something along those lines the red marker on the west end is the summer time cal fire station the green house in the middle is the FWS summer station in the marsh lands Dol Palos Y and El Nido are adjacent - each has 1 paid guy on duty 24/7 - but only 1 paid call guy to back them up - this might not be a big deal if the 4 off duty paid firefighters stay near the stations and work as landscapers or handymen or whatever - but those are very rural areas - El Nido has a population of 330 - Dos Palos Y has a pop of 323 we dont seem to have anything like this is New England that I can think of most of Merced County seems to be farmland, marshs and housing tracts - so the wildfire risk is probably not terribly high - unless the homes are surrounded by flammable grasses that are continually drying out -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
