Narrative
Describe in detail what happened including the concern or potential issue, the environment (weather, terrain, fire behavior, etc), and the resulting health issue.
Central Idaho Dispatch Center received power surge which caused internet to go out while fire personnel and equipment were engaged in initial attack on a fire on the Salmon-Challis National Forest. With the loss of network; ROSS, AFF and WildCAD went off line. Approximately 10 min later, the network came back on line.

Multiple Safenets have been filed on this issue, including several last field season and at least three this spring.
Immediate Action Taken
Reporting Individual : please describe actions you took to correct or mitigate the unsafe/unhealthful event.
