Thank you, Mr. Chair. With our current arrangement, again, in particular with our water wing here, we initially attack fires… Even over the years, the majority of the time utilizing four people and there have been many occasions where that fifth person is left at home. I spent most of my career in the fire program as a firefighter a lot of times, and the old days we had the big medium helicopters, we can take two five-man crews, and as we evolved to the intermediate rotary wing, they've done it across the country, this is where we see the efficiencies. The initial attack process is to ensure that we gain control of that fire within the first 24-hour period and normally that's done within the first few hours. Again, the majority of our fires we end up utilizing four people. Again, we also, on the other side save an extra trip with the rotary. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
