Following completion of operations in Canadian, Texas at the Canadian River Bottom fire units comprising Strike Team 22-136 moved back south to the Lubbock area where they assisted with final mop up of the Red Mud fire east of the city. Currently the strike team is back in Big Spring awaiting assignment. With temps fluctuating from the 90’s to the 30’s and wind gusts topping 40MPH its simply a waiting game until the next fire incident. Until then the time is being well spent with apparatus maintenance and readiness checks to ensure everything is ready to go at a moments notice (as shown by the frequent air filter changes). Entering the 3rd week of the deployment strike team personnel continue to make us proud back home.
