(Livingston, Montana-AP) -- Two groups of New York City
firefighters are in Montana this week to learn more about managing
major fires from wildland firefighters.
Five officers from the New York Fire Department arrived in
Livingston, Montana Monday to observe the team fighting the Rough
Draw complex of fires.
Two other teams are spending the week at fire camps near
Missoula.
A group of wildland firefighters showed up in New York the day
after the September Eleventh, 2001 attacks to offer help. New York
firefighters were impressed with their Western counterparts'
planning, mapping and communications.
The wildland firefighters helped the F-D-N-Y with everything
from a communications network to a distribution point for food for
the search dogs.
