This includes 35 local government and State OES engines that were dispatched to the Emigrant Gap fire on an 'immediate need.' Additionally, State OES has activated its Inland Region Emergency Operations Center and State Operations Center in Sacramento to coordinate response to the Northern California fires. Each strike team consists of five fire engines - with three to four firefighters per engine - and a strike team leader. The latest strike teams are being dispatched from the following locations. EMIGRANT GAP FIRE 1 OES Strike Team 1 OES Satellite Communication Trailer Local Government Engines Colusa County Stanislaus County (2) San Joaquin County Nevada County Tahoe Basin MODOC COMPLEX FIRE Local Government Engines Alameda County Tahoe Basin BLUE FIRE 1 OES Strike Team Local Government Engines Shasta County Throughout Northern California and Nevada, eight fires have burned upwards of 100,000 acres so far. In addition to the recent group of 11 strike teams, OES has also deployed 99 other State OES and local government fire engines, two state-of-the-art OES satellite communication trailers, and numerous fire and telecommunications staff to the Northern California fire lines. The local and state-owned equipment has been dispatched through California's Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System, administered by OES, to assist the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and federal wildland fire agencies, and local departments. The system is designed to ensure that additional resources are provided to local jurisdictions whenever their own resources are committed or insufficient for a specific fire. -OES- For more information contact: OES Public Affairs (916) 262-1843 EDIS-08-14-01 0035 PDT --------------------------------------------------------- To update or terminate your subscription to this email service visit our webpage at http://www.incident.com/edismail.html.
