Narrative

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

While refurbing water on Fire 133 we noticed that the water filed from the cubies from AFS on June 4 2018 were all brown in color and had floating particulates.

Immediate Action Taken

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

Upon noticing we this, we had the crew pour out the bad water from the cubies and check all remaining cubies to see which were filled on the same date and contained the contaminated water. Management of the fire notified all personnel on the fire to ensure no more of the water was consumed and hopefully they will notify AFS to whom it may concern to ensure the quality of the supply they are sending to resources.
