Changes to fire camp crews this season Warm Springs Fire Man agement this year is making m ajor changes to its camp crew program. The changes will create a more highly trained and ver satile camp crew program , capable o f resp o n d in g to various FEMA emergencies in addition to fires, said Wil liam W ilson, assistant Fire Management Officer-Logis tics. Starting this year, camp Crew m em bers, like oth er ’fire-fighting personnel, will be required to have à valid Red Card. The card shows that the person is qualified for certain aspects o f fire fighting, in cluding the camp crew duties. T h e qualification require ments will be: Incident Com- m and System 100, Leader ship 180, and Incident Sys- tem 700. Fire Management will provide the necessary training. Fire Management will re quire pre-employment drug testing prior to camp crew training and orientation. Because o f these added training requirem ents, the n u m b er o f W arm Springs camp crews will be reduced for th e 2014 season, said Wilson. T h ere will be five Fire Management camp crews this year, with 14 m em bers per crew. T he 14 m ém bers in clude three alternates. Last year there were nine crews. In past years there were as many as eleven. Fire Management plans to increase the number o f crews in coming years, as the new qualification requirements are implemented, Wilson said. The camp crew members for 2014 will be selected from the crews o f previous years. Fire M anagement chose six candidate crew bosses who will organize the crews. I f necessary, one o f the six will be absorbed into one o f the five crews. T h e crew b o sses are: G e ra ld C ard en as, L ouis LeClaire, M onty McKinley, Alberto Briseno, Jose B arrera. and Tony T hom pson. The candidates are responsible for providing the names o f the crews they wish to take out. The bosses will also be respon sible for the crew members filling o u t th e n ecessary form s for qualification and training. The crews will be based on w ho provides the inform a tion first, as to getting their crews qualified for Red Cards. From the Secretary-Treasurer In ad d itio n to th e five camp crews, there will be a pre-selected group o f 20 to 25 alternates who will be in vited to p articipate in the 2014 camp crew program . The alternates will also need to be qualified to have a Red Card. Orientation for the camp crews will consist o f one day o f training and one day o f filling out the required hire paperwork and other admin istrative work. There will be a five-day Supervisor Crew Training. T he supervisors will be re quired to attend all five days, and crews will be there on W ednesday through Friday For team building and crew orientation.

Regarding 1RS notices F rom the O ffice o f thé Secretary/Treasurer-CEO, Jake Suppah: . Some tribal m em bers recently received confus ing and misleading emails from the Internal Revenue Service (1RS) suggesting that tribal members are re quired to report tribal per capita payments on their 2013 federal incom e tax returns. The 1RS message does n o t apply to the W arm Springs tribal per capita payments; Warm Springs per capita paym ents are m ade from the revenue generated by the utiliza tio n o f trib a l tr u s t re- sources, m ainly tim ber stumpage.
