The Bear Gulch IAPs show that a Staging Group was formed for the August 27 operational period. The Staging Group consisted of Group Supervisor Tommy Crakes and two contract crews: Arden 29 (Type 2 IA) and Table Rock (Type 2). Crakes is also listed as the Logistics Section Chief in the IAP. The Staging Group and the two crews do not appear in the August 28 IAP. A CBP press release confirms that Arden and Table Rock were the two crews involved. The press release also states that BLM requested assistance from Border Patrol.
So ultimately they were after 2 people, but took the time to profile everyone on the 2 crews, and then after all that the 2 crews were demobed? However, I read the IMT said this didn't affect fire operations at all. I dunno, I think losing 2 whole crews in one division would certainly affect operations. What a bunch of cucks.
This originally started because the crews were foraging times. A total of about 5K above what they should have gotten. This is coming from someone in the team.
The shift ticket forging did happen (confirmed by a firefighter who heard it directly from the IMT), but it isn't confirmed that the crew forging shift tickets was the same crew that was detained.
