Fire Volunteering Opportunities

im of the opinion that at this point in the game the best thing we can do is support the fire fighters with food and water. the idea of handing out free water isn't a bad idea. it gets hot as balls near those fires and depending on how long they stay out there getting nice cold water might be difficult.

I agree that we are behind the curve with respect to being organized to do much in the way of the fire in the Springs right now. Many, if not all of us would do whatever we could if we only knew what was needed.

I was thinking more in the way of organizing regional groups of members who would exchange contact information and inventory skills and equipment for any future needs.

Where individual groups take their interaction and preparations would be up to the members of that group. Ideas for regions would be:

NoCo
North Metro Denver
South Metro Denver
Castle Rock
Colorado Springs
Pueblo
Trinidad
Central Mountains
Western Slope

Participation could be as simple as exchanging contact information or as organized as regular meet and greets, training in different topics, cookouts, shooting, etc...

Would the powers that be support this type of regional organizing within a dedicated forum? If so, does anyone have additional suggestions or regions to add?

Once organized, we might be a bit more effective at supporting one another when the need arises. I'm just throwing ideas out there. Tell me it's a dumb idea and you won't hurt my feelings.
