Document Description
The 2008 CAL FIRE Ishi Training is a Fire Crew Preparedness exercise that will include check-in procedures, fire tool use, fire shelters, hiking and handline construction. This seasonal training allows fire crews from various camps the opportunity to fine tune their skills prior to fire season. The training will include the construction of approximately 2000 linear feet of fireline through grass and mixed brush, largely manzanita. Crews will use hand tools and chain saws to construct a combination of scratch line (2 feet canopy, 1 foot line to mineral soil) and finished line (8 feet canopy, 4 foot line to mineral soil). Upon completion, the removed material will be lopped and scattered along the constructed line to prevent surface erosion.
