Unfortunelatey, some comments are not coming thru here at Yarnell Fire Realties. So to Amy Rucker I see that you I see that you work as a Public Information Specialist at United States Wildland Fire Aviation, before you write a comment you should check into the issue before making broad statements such as yours. So to your point about Fire Shelter Survivalbilty...The Issue has not been beat to death. The whole point of a Fire Shelter is to create a LOWER TEMPTURE SPACE for the firefighter. Since this has been such a Sensitve subject for most concerned, none of the parties that should have the Autopises, do NOT have them. So conseqently I seem to be the only one concerned that does. I know exactly the toxicins Travis inhaled and how concisious Travis was when he died. Travis perished becuase of the Items that he and the Crew carried with them, had he and the others had a better shelter that could with stand Direct Thermal Contact the out come may have been different. In closing I leave you with this.....a quote from 2004 Safety is a core value of the firefighting community, and it is non-negotiable. To continue to use these contract large airtankers when no mechanism exists to guarantee their airworthiness presents an unacceptable level of risk to the aviators, the firefighters on the ground and the communities we serve. 2004 USFS Chief Dale Bosworth
