I am so excited to see these assets finally being deployed. The unfortunate reality is that they were needed and would have been most effective when these fires were just being reported. Follow up on the ground is so important, so it's also wonderful to see the firefighters there in the background of the video. Moving forward it's critical that state and federal legislators and agencies really understand when and where aircraft can be effective. The name of the game for agencies in wildfire is RAPID INITIAL ATTACK. The name of the game for home and property owners is BE PROACTIVE, LIVE FIREWISE. If we do this together, the fire service can concentrate on perimeter control, versus structure protection. When fires are this large, suppression resources are spread thin, often to a point of ineffectiveness. Every minute counts.

yup we can do it together

MARC Training- The Florida MARC system is shown at the basic operators course at the Florida State Fire College. The entry level course prepares assigned operators to deploy and utilize Florida’s 8 MARC units assigned in the various regions and prepares them for more advanced roles such as COML and COMT training. MARC Units (Mutual Aid Radio Communications) often serve as search and rescue communications resources and as part of ESF2 Strike teams. MARC carries interoperability channels, radios, and associated support equipment each with a 100ft tower. Units are mobilized annually across Florida often during wildfires, planned events, and hurricanes. #hurricaneseason #interoperability

Captain's Log 1 June '24 Video Update: Severe weather remains rampant across the U.S. with tornadoes now the most in 13 years and in the top 1% of records. Our SVP Bruce Firth based in Bentonville AR saw destructive tornadoes hit his area last weekend, prayers for all impacted. The pattern ahead is warmer (favorable for seasonal sales) but continued much wetter (unfavorable) for store traffic, a wholesale change from last year's cool and very dry start to June. Have a great week ahead! - Captain Kirk out. #retailanalytics #SupplyChainManagement #predictiveanalytics #AI #severeweather #categorymanagement #weather #hurricaneseason #WT360 #neudata #FinancialServicesIndustry
