Nice job seeing the mutual aid in a wildland/urban interface fire in southern California. USFS/LA County/LA City/Arcadia/Burbank/Pasadena, you are looking at why and where the ICS was put together. Necessity, as is said, was the mother of invention here. Fire and this kind of mutual aid had so many seemingly impossible barriers that had to be broken down, walls torn down and bridges built. I had my first fire assignment in 1973 an when I retired in the 2000's the entire fire service was far different. It was a pleasure to watch and work in.
In actuality it would be similar to "Verdugo, Battalion 1, Engine 16 is out of service, mechanical, unknown duration, problem being evaluated" or something similar. Most public service agencies in the country have a "unit being called" followed by the "unit calling" second procedure. I still appreciate the humor though!
Those of us in the fire service, in my case retired, don't refer to a response by the U.S. Forest Service as having "USDA" there. We would abbreviate it "USFS." If the Bureau of Land Management or the National Park Service responded we would not say we had a "USDI" (United States Department of the Interior) response, we would list BLM and NPS. In most cases we use the agency/department 3 letter designator. You may have noticed the engines from the Angeles National Forest are labeled with "ANF." Forest Service units have an F as the third character. BLM has a D as the BLM is organized by districts. The National Park Service has a P as the third character. Cal Fire is organized into operation units that cover one and more often two or more counties. Their identifiers end with a U. For municipal departments there isn't a set last character. They try to come up with something that people can recognize, like the "ARC" on the Arcadia engine. LA City FD is LFD and LA County is LAC. Identifiers are unique in one state, but a department in another state can have the same letters. That is why you see the USFS engines marked with "CA-ANF-E325" and similar. There is an ANF in Pennsylvania, the Allegheny National Forest and another in Utah, the Ashley National Forest." Just thought I would throw in some insider info to help fire buffs and fire equipment aficionados.
The halogen lights are really great! Lovin it! BTW: What those conservation camp inmates do gives me a feeling of class D personnels from the SCP series.
I love the halogens The inmate fire conservation and firefighting camp idea is great. They can completely turn their lives around. People who aren't criminal minded but have committed crimes and have potential to turn it around. The rehabilitation success rate is about 95% and most have their sentences reduced for the work they do.
i love those green USDA Forest Service (USFS) engines. that shade of green has always stood out. i wish the USFS still painted their federal law enforcement vehicles that green. nice video!

They can reduce their sentences by helping fight fires
I love the halogens

Very nice catch!
