Severity Staffing-Montana DNRC pays up to 8 firefighters to staff the station each day and respond as a Task Force
to wildland fires within Yellowstone, Stillwater and Carbon Counties, as and when needed. They can also be called up
to respond to fires anywhere in the Southern Zone areas. The 2 State-owned type 5 wildland engines assigned to
Laurel are the ones primarily used for these calls. This has proven to be beneficial to Laurel as a means for a quick
response to all incidents.
