@AlbertaWildfire sent out a tweet today with four pictures saying goodby to four crews that had been assisting in the Province:

Today we say goodbye to our US firefighters that assisted us at the McMillan Complex in the Slave Lake Forest area. Thank you to the Prineville, Logan, Union and Snake River Hotshot Crews; we appreciate the support. Safe travels and all the best back home! #ABfire #ABwildfire

  1. Union has the photo of them in front of the yellow Type 2 helicopter on their Facebook page, so Logan must be the crew posing in front of the heavy equipment.

  2. Snake River is the crew in front of the cabin. Supe Randy Anderson is in front row in faded blue tshirt. Probably Prineville, all in blue, in front of the white helicopter.

    2. Yup. Prineville is the all blue group. Brendan the supe, is front row right as you look at them.
