Between Entrapment and Deployment

Key Events: Entrapment

• The squad 2 squad boss scouted the scree slope as a potential deployment site, but eventually recommended to the IC that the road would be a better deployment site.
• Six Naches Ranger District employees clustered together on rocks about 20 feet above the road, watching the approaching fire. The IC and eight crewmembers remained on the road.
