Volume 15 Issue 3 - Look Up. Speak Up. Stay Connected.

This issue of Two More Chains is about how aviation is an integral part of wildland fire. Even if you are not assigned to an aviation crew, you are still part of aviation operations. If aircraft are working your fire, what is happening in the air cannot be separated from what is happening on the ground. Your awareness, communication, and actions matter.

Over a 10-year span we have recorded 13 separate incidents of wheels nearly or completely separating from Type 6 engines due to problems related to lug nuts and studs.

Look at the data, take action.

Latest Episode - Christina Anabel talks with Dr. Jennifer Symonds about rhabdomyolysis. They cover what rhabdo is, risk factors, symptoms, treatment, and what folks in the wildland fire community can do to reduce their risk.
