Narrative

Describe in detail what happened including the concern or potential issue, the environment (weather, terrain, fire behavior, etc), and the resulting health issue.

Due to USFS Forest service radio trunk/repeater/base station being completely down we were not able to communicate with the fire that had homes threatened. We could not talk to our ground resources and had issues with talking to air resources as well. It is critical that we maintain constant communication with an incident at dispatch.

Immediate Action Taken

Reporting Individual : please describe actions you took to correct or mitigate the unsafe/unhealthful event.

Opened up a USFS ticket since our local usfs radio tech is out of town, told them how critical the situation is. We also were able to talk with certain overhead on cell phones in certain areas, not ideal, as well as ordered a portable repeater to be set up.
