Narrative
Describe in detail what happened including the concern or potential issue, the environment (weather, terrain, fire behavior, etc), and the resulting health issue.
On July 9th a hotshot crew was sent as immediate need to the Adam's first on the Los Padres nation forest. They were released on the 23rd. Returned home pulled an extended shift on the 24th then reassigned to the Cranston fire on the 25th . On the 29th which would be day 10 with 9 on fire assignments and no days if they were reassigned to the ferguson fire and were informed that the last work day would be August 7th for a total of 19 days worked 18 on fire assignments with no days off not to include the 2 days worked before leaving for the Adam's fire.this is an extended amount of day for fire fighter to work in a heat wave in southern California. I believe the overhead was using the one day in quarters as a reset however infor the 14 day limit however in my opinion that does not constitute a day off for resetting
