Mounted search and rescue

[ALLEN SNYDER <allendana1@sbcglobal.net>]

Chris, exactly where is Sawtooth located?  Could air survey support be 
helpful from Civil Air Patrol in your area or could you use help from other 
areas?  Let us know.  You are all in my/our prayers. 
   
   And don't forget that in all our talk this week about helmets, the biggest 
weakness in my Troxel schooling helmet is HEAT.  I looked at the 
manufacturer's info and realized I needed a refresher.  Not only have I been 
lax in not replacing it every 5 years, it is not to be exposed to high heat 
such as the car/trailer on a hot day.  Temps over 130 degrees may damage the 
impact absorbing materials of your helmet or the shell may distort and the 
helmet should be discarded.  Finally, the warranty does not cover melting in 
extreme heat.
   
  Troxel also says that helmets should not be exposed to or stored near 
volatile chemicals such as solents, pool chemicals, paint, fertilizers and 
the like as they may destroy the strapping of the helmet.  Dana Snyder CAP,

  Keep those in Morongo MSAR in your prayers. They are in the thick of 
this Sawtooth fire- evacuating and doing searches. I know they've had at 
least one member hurt- not seriously thankfully. Smoke is thick here and 
we are on stand-by, been on stand by for three days. It's hard to wait 
but good that we aren't needed yet. Evacuated my horses two days ago so 
just have to worry about humans and houses....
