Spc. Jesus Ramos with the 14th Brigade Engineer Battalion, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, strikes a tree stump with his Pulaski during mopup operations in Mendocino National Forest, Nothern California, Friday, Sept. 4, 2020. Mopup operations involves hand crews extinguishing or removing burning material near control lines, felling snags, and trenching logs to prevent rolling after an area has burned, making a fire safer and reducing residual smoke.
The 14th BEB deployed over 200 Soldiers in support of the Department of Defense wildland firefighting response operations. U.S. Northern Command, through U.S. Army North, remains committed to providing flexible DoD support to the National Interagency Fire Center to respond quickly and effectively to protect lives, property, critical infrastructure and natural and cultural resources.
