Fire Restrictions are In Effect Info Board

This page is designed to be printed on 36x48 paper size on a plotter, but it fits on a 4x4 piece of plywood. Additional information can occupy the 12’ space left on the side. Messages, restrictions and maps can be changed based on location. The second page contains art that can be switched out depending on restrictions. This is meant to be used where people walk up to it and read. It is not a roadside sign, because there is too much content. It is not meant to be a facebook or social media graphic, either.

NWCG Latest Announcements

ETC Bulletin 24-001: Discontinued Use of Hot/Cold Beverage Kits - 2024 Field Season

Date: June 4, 2024
Contact: NWCG Equipment Technology Committee 

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide NWCG direction on the discontinued use of hot/cold beverage kits for the 2024 field season due to spout failures and risk of burn injury. As an alternative, coffee heating kits are available for ordering through the cache system to support spike camps and remote resources.

If personnel see hot/cold beverage kits at an incident, these should not be used. Equipment specialists with the National Technology and Development Program are evaluating available alternative options to replace the faulty spouts and continue to coordinate with industry experts.
