The Northern Rockies Fire Cache in Missoula, Montana, provides efficient support for emergencies, specializing in interagency wildland fire incidents and all hazards incidents both regionally and nationwide. Cache manager Anthony Krause takes the viewer on a tour of the facility and shares the critical fire season preparations performed at the Northern Rockies Fire Cache, taking the guesswork out of logistical support. The 14 employees fulfill a variety of needs including packaging pre-made kits of necessary field paperwork and supplies, ordering equipment in bulk, coordinating administration, deliveries and ensuring inventory control. The center is cost-effective and reduces waste by reusing field equipment that has passed stringent testing after repair and refurbishment.
