Request for CFA Resources to Attend Planned Burn

Request for PBTF resources should be made as early as possible, as the taskforce relies on volunteer member availability, limited lead times reduce the chances of filling requests. For deployments not requiring member accommodation, requests can be made up until and including the business day prior to the deployment. For deployments requiring accommodation a minimum lead time of two business days prior to members arrive at accommodation/burn location is required.
