Personnel change out on Calaveras strike teams in NorCal fires

Throughout the 21 day committed length of a strike team, some personnel may have a need to return home. At which time the districts coordinate replacement personnel.

One such replacement happened today with a personnel change out from both Murphys FD and CalCo FD. The various districts will coordinate change outs for maximum efficiency use of vehicles, personnel and time.

A utility truck carrying the personnel headed to the July Fire Complex in Siskyou County and will replace personnel at the scene who will then return home. A carpool of sorts.

Currently there are two strike teams from Calaveras County on fires in NorCal.
