(rob live) not a lot of activity here today because four strike teams from calfire's santa clara unit are fighting wildfires up north. but not to worry, if something happens that the skeleton crew left behind cant handle, other crews nearby will step into the void. it's called "assistance by hire," or mutual aid by contract. for every strike team dispatched to a fire and won't be going home any time soon, another crew will be

called in from a nearby jurisdiction to take it's place, says calfire'spam temmerman by phone.pam temmerman/calfire "....it's like dropping a pebble in a pond and the rings just keep going oute more and more and we call in more resources as needed...."for example, crews from morgan hill, san jose and spring valley near milpitas are handling the territory that would otherwise be the responsibility of those strike teams currently on assignment says temmerman.pam temmerman/calfire "....we hire their personnel to come in to our jurisdiction and staff our station for us, essentially their engines work just as ours do, they respond to calls just like what we do, regardless of what kind of call it is..."as we saw earlier this month on the curie and country fires, san jose firefighters are trained to fight wildfires. just as calfire crews are trained to handle structure fires and other emegencies. the problem is that with no fewer than 17 different fires burning across the state right now, even with mutual aid, resources are being stretched ever thinner.

pam temmerman/calfire '....when that fire breaks the resources closest to the fire will respond first and then they'll call for equipment farther and farther out, that's why we're getting the call for help here in the bay area to send equipment..." (rob live) in most cases, the crews dont actually pick up and move to otherfire stations. in this case, morgan hill fire is already stationed here at the calfire base, while the san jose crews covering for the strike teams are the strike covering for san jose crews base, while the at the calfirebase, while the san jose crews covering for the strike teams are being dispatched usual base at station 27 in soth san jose. live in morgan hill rob fladeboe kron4news (anchor)
