Meeting Tuesday at 7:00
   Start at the MVA Office

The meeting will begin at the office, so we have access to the Internet to go over the new calendar system. After that (about 15 minutes) we’ll move to the ambulance garage.

Using the shift calendar
   You'll need a Google account

We’re using a Google calendar to track who covered shifts each month. After you finish your shift, log on to the calendar and add your name to the date of your shift. Katherine will use this calendar to do payroll at the end of the month.

If you do shifts, you’ll have to have Katherine or Michael send you an invitation to the calendar. When it arrives in your email, log on to the calendar. If you don’t yet have a Google account, you’ll need to create one, but it’s very simple. After you’ve set it up, you should only need to click on the “shift calendar” link in the navigation bar at the top of this page to get to the calendar.

  • "Deep Draw Update August 17 (Deep Draw Wildland Fire)" "Saturday the Deep Draw fire exhibited minimal fire behavior, largely smoldering and creeping, occasionally burning of pockets of trees inside the fire line. Crews continued to make good progress holding and mopping up hot spots inside the fireline. Palm IR's, or handheld infrared heat sensors, were used to help identify the areas with heat. The hot and dry weather is providing an excellent test of the firelines. Equipment and crews continued opening up access roads. Crews and equipment cleared, brushed or constructed over 62 miles of fireline in the course of the week's work fighting this fire-of that total, 43 miles were indirect contingency firelines.Plans for Sunday include rehabilitating roads that have been opened. Slash consisting of brush and cut logs will be piled alongside these roads. Crews will continue to patrol and mop up hot spots along the fireline.Sunday is expected to be hot and dry with temperatures in the low 90's. Winds are predicted to be light,..."
