I was to ensure all vehicles were fire ready every morning. Performed wildfire suppression support as directed within training and physical capabilities and other duties as assigned. After morning checks were done, conducted the morning briefing with the crew, going over 6 Minutes for Safety, sit report, and also the daily weather. While at the station would ensure its office, restrooms, and compound were clean and presentable to the public.
