10/2/15 NIMO Job Openings in Operations and Plans

Here is the NIMO Operations and Plans outreach. These are great, adventurous jobs with NIMO so please encourage people to respond to the outreach if they have any interest at all. Here's the official word:

"We are reissuing the PSC and OSC outreach for NIMO. Though we got some good responses, it was limited due to the extreme fire activity during the listing.  Please share these links far and wide.

Those who have already responded will remain on our list so they don’t have to resubmit, but PLEASE encourage anyone who is interested to send an email or respond with their name and location so we can take it into consideration when choosing duty locations across the country."

10/1/15 New Portable Inter-Operable Radio System

Eric Martinez demonstrates the new radio concept

Eric Martinez joined NIMO early in 2015.  He had an idea for a Portable Inter-operable Radio System, useful in Spike Camps, very remote locations or even ICPs.
During the River Complex in 2015, he shared the beta test of the system with a small group which we recorded on video. If you'd like to know more about it, here is the link:

The video link will remain on the Innovative Ideas page on this blog. If you need to contact Eric about his project, you can email him at epmartinez@fs.fed.us
