Dear Ron:
The Pacific Northwest Wildfire Coordinating Group much appreciates the opportunity to
review the proposed ICS 224 – Crew Performance Rating form. Our response, which was
consolidated by Chair Randy Johnson of our Operations Working Team, is attached in the
form of a letter from the Operations Working Team to myself.
As the Pacific Northwest provides a large portion of the nation’s contract handcrews this
topic is of high and continuing interest to us. Please contact myself or Randy if we can be
of further assistance in completing this important task.
Our email addresses are:
Ken Snell at ksnell@fs.fed.us
Randy Johnson at randyj@scfd4.org
Sincerely,
/s/ Ken Snell
Ken Snell
Chair
