Get Your Trainee Assignment Records to Training

Performance Evaluations:


If you get an entry in a Position Task Book, be sure to photocopy the evaluation record page (That's the one in the back with the incident information). Give the copy to training, so that they can get it in to IQCS.

This is particularly true for Task Books that will expire this year.

Honoring the fallen

Forest Service commemorates 70th anniversary of pioneer smokejumper’s ultimate sacrifice
On Aug. 6, the Forest Service will commemorate the 70th anniversary of PFC Malvin L. Brown’s passing. Brown, one of the "Triple Nickles" of the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, served as the one of the first African-American smokejumpers during WWII. He died on Aug. 6, 1945, during a fire jump near Roseburg, Oregon. His death is the first recorded smokejumper fatality. Chief Tidwell will officiate at a ceremony at Brown’s gravesite in Mt. Calvary Cemetery near Baltimore beginning at 10 a.m.
