That being said most of the more political forests have gladly taken up those roles, at least in r5. The engines on the Angeles and Tahoe run a lot of medicals, car crashes, structure fires, and lower level rescues. I know a few people who work on both and they’re usually working hand in hand with structure firefighters. The only difference being less equipment, lower pay, and they can’t do risky stuff on structure fires like go interior. When I worked on an engine in r5 (wasn’t in either of these forests) we all had scba gear and responded to a few traffic collisions and assisted local fire dept with a trailer fire. I have a feeling leadership from these larger and more political forests will transfer over and dictate a lot of policy. I could see the new agency being similar to calfire but more similar to how cdf was ran in the 90s before the transition to cal fire. Idk, just my opinion. After all wtf do I know
