Did you know that DCNR assists with wildland fires in other states? Since 1973 Pennsylvania has sent resources to help with fires and other incidents to over a dozen states. Some are on the front lines as a part of a hand crew or with an engine, while others fill roles in logistics, dispatch, record keeping, and public information. Several members of our district staff were among those that were dispatched this past summer. Not only do these assignments help ease the strain on other state and federal resources, but the experience gained by our staff members is frequently put to good use when large incidents occur in the Commonwealth.
