Crews rotated through four stations, including a sand table exercise focused on setting up a unified command for an escalating wildland-urban interface incident that included a cost share discussion. Other stations focused on setting up tactical interoperability radio kits to facilitate radio communications, structure triage and protection, and an emergency medical incident.
