This action has been based on a number of factor to include the following:

* Lack of resources in the area

* Continued dry conditions

* Energy Release Components in the area above 97%

* Numerous fires burning in the region

* Potential of Dry Lightning in the coming week


We have taken several steps to assure we are ready in the event of a fire!!  First and foremost it has been agreed upon that the Enchanted Circle region move to a HIGHT RISK response which includes a Task Force response from the Area!!  Secondly we will be pulling in all available resources at the FD in the event of a fire and going to an immediate task force response with in the department.  Meaning a minimum of 3 engines, water tender and EMS response.

If anyone has any questions to this please do not hesistate to ask.
