“The crew did and excellent job of burning out, holding, mop-up, gridding, and sawing. Their high quality of service can be attributed to the above-average level of experience and fire qualifications. The crew was a bonus to have on the division since we were able to break off a FIREB and DOZB. Both did a good job. The sawyers did an exceptional job prepping for burn out, this is by far the best contract crew I’ve worked with.”
“Crew worked prepping structure and did a great job. Crew is very physically fit.”
“Crew did a great job. This was a tough fire with some extreme hazards. Crew had a good safety briefing after initial briefing did a good job implementing LCES.”
“Cool under fire! Three days hard, dirty, steep, thick mop up. New rigs, well-prepared, saws, squads, came to us from dispatch quickly and went to work in 7-10 minutes for IA.”
“During their time on the McGuire Fire ASI performed burn out, fuels reduction prep work, mop-up, and hotline construction. During all phases of work the ASI crew could be relied on as efficient and hardworking crew. The crew showed safe work practices. Crew was organized and well equipped with skilled crew supervisors and members.”
“The assignment was highly dynamic and ASI showed a ton of flexibility where faced with shifting priorities.”
“Met all line specifications, solid Crew hated to see them time out.”
“I’m very impressed with the service this crew has provided. One of the best crews I’ve worked with. They are extremely organized and hard working.”
“ASI assisted in a complex firing operation which resulted in the preservation of a small community of 14 cabins and various out buildings. They were able to maintain a calm demeanor despite the extreme fire behavior and number of first year firefighters on the crew.”
