Narrative
Describe in detail what happened including the concern or potential issue, the environment (weather, terrain, fire behavior, etc), and the resulting health issue.
An IHC crew drove to the fire with 3 days food and water (30 cubies). The cubies were filled at the AFS Cache on 6/4/18. During our 2nd shift we noticed that the cubee water was brown. Cubies had been distributed on the fire to White Mountain T2IA Crew and the smokejumpers.
Immediate Action Taken
Reporting Individual : please describe actions you took to correct or mitigate the unsafe/unhealthful event.
We notified the DIVS, IC, and Safety Officer. All 6/4/18 dated cubies were dumped out and we send one back to ICP to be tested. We get bad water on fires every season and would like this mitigated with a quality filtration system.

We were told it was going to be looked into and heard a report that the pipes were being flushed while the cubies were being filled at the AFS Cache.
