Narrative

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

The forest Signal Peak repeater is down again. This is crucial to our ongoing Type 3 Incident as well as to Forest Initial Attack. This outage severally limits our ability to function and puts lives at risk. We need a redundant system on the Gila NF to protect firefighters and the public.
