Mike Cafferata, the depart-

in a news release. “These

the Sunset Grade Fire, which
we believe was started by
one of these activities last
weekend.”
The restrictions are as fol-

Pool of responders
Large pool
needed for spill
response
Angela Moretti, an en-
vironmental project man-
ager with Global, said the
company keeps such a large
pool of responders because
many will be unavailable
when needed.
“Just being there and
watching it all come to
play is better than read-
ing about it in a book,”
said Micah Domingcil, 21,
from Kauai, Hawaii. He
and other students reen-
acted an oil spill near the
mouth of the Columbia
River, taking out oil con-
tainment booms.
While the training does
not prepare for every type
of response, Moretti said, it
readies them for deck work,
cleanup, line-handling and
oil skimming.
“We’re teaching them
to be safe mariners,” Capt.
Len Tumbarello, head of
Tongue Point’s seamanship
program, said of the train-
ing.
Tongue Point has 120
students training on its
vessel, the Ironwood, in
two different classes. Each
goes through work-based
learning and an internship
to give them real-world
experience before graduat-
ing. Despite the large en-
rollment and the program’s
existence since 1980, Tum-
barello said it only has
eight to 10 work-based
learning sites for students
and wants more.
