Copperopolis Fire Protection District was asked to form a leg of a 5 engine strike team last night, 7-25-12, in response to the overwhelming need for fire suppression at the Penn fire in Murphys. The strike team was cancelled at 9 am 7-26-12.
Resources throughout the county are slim at this point and reducing the number of engines available to SRA areas, such as Copper, have to be taken into consideration prior to depleting resources even more.
