5 minute video - they have aed and oxygen and small trauma kit - all
engines on plumas NF have aed
all hazard = not only wildfires - also respond to medical calls and
car fires and maybe even bld fires - but no mention of scba - no jaws
either - but they have bolt cutters and maybe pry bars - no ground
ladder mentioned - have 2 miles of hose - have 600 gallon tank - go
thru radio batteries quickly
crew of 5 - fire engine operator = apparatus operator = driver =
engineer - iirc their ranks on the engine are - captain + engine
operator + assistant engine operator + firefighter - something like
that - its slightly different from city FDs in CA - 'fire equipment
operator' might be a dozer driver or a water tender driver - they
might require a CDL - not sure
female firefighter - maybe DEI - maybe lesbian and proud of it - she
didnt say explicitly - just mentioning for indexing porpoises

per comments
forest technician or forestry technician - thats what it says on the
hiring info usually - thats the official civil service job
classification - perhaps - maybe for the 'firefighters'
most engines have an EMT - but its a "voluntary program"
