STAY SAFE EVERYONE.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMAN FIGHTING THESE FIRES.

Friends, the wind shift has brought the immediate reality of the fires in the Boundary Waters to our doors, windows, nose, and lungs. Throughout the spin up of resources addressing these fires we have supported the larger response by having a quick reaction crew station in Ely each day for search and rescue efforts. Yesterday several members supported the closure and evacuation of the Echo Trail. Over the next several days we have plans to stage people and equipment in the Ely area to support search and rescue operations or other needed emergency response we can affect. Below Captain Brett Schelde (7100) and North LT KK Johnson (7353) coordinate our portion inside of the larger Incident Command. Picture by Emergency Support Services Administrator Dewey Johnson.

Folks, we hope any activities you find yourself in over the next several days you stay safe. Whether you are on the front lines feeling the heat from the flames, piloting a plane dropping water, or making sure everyone is hydrated and bellies full WE APPRECIATE YOU!
