It's been the perfect conditions this summer for wildfires and there have been a few already. So Far, WilCo says it's already used the the task force three times to respond to wildfires.
"We knew in the pasts several years that incidents would escalate and grow to a larger scale, so we had a couple planning meetings and decided 'hey, what's a better way to get these resources deployed quickly, more efficient and have better resource tracking?'" said Cella.High fire risk: How to prevent wildfires in your areaCrews have contained the Cobb Creek Fire in Williamson County to 95 percent. The fire has so far burned through 300 acres of land.
"By going to the task force model and then just pulling resources from several different departments from across the other quadrants that are being affected," said Cella. "That doesn't deplete resources in those areas."If an incident commander on scene calls for backup other fire engines, ambulances and even a battalion chief will report for duty from one of those four quadrants.
"From a county standpoint, it gives us better management of these resources," said Cella. "It's better for tracking, better for deploying, better for resource allocation, just overall it makes it a smoother process."Fire officials said you can help them prevent fires by abiding by the burn bans in place.that I have read and agree
