The Working Environment You Can ExpectThe Valdez / Copper River River Area maintains its base of operations in a relatively central location of the protection area. At milepost 110 on the Richardson Highway, just south of the Tazlina River near its confluence with the Copper, the campus is found on a timbered gravel bench bearing evidence of both geologic and archeological interest. Across the Copper River, Wrangell St. Elias National Park cannot be ignored, with the massive peaks of Sanford, Drum, Wrangell, and Blackburn dominating the eastern skyline. Approximately six miles to the north is Glennallen, the area's commercial center, which has schools, grocery stores, banks, fuel, various government offices, and other services. The VCRA initial attack base includes an administration building, a separate operations and training office, and a combined maintenance shop/supply cache. A half-acre is used as a helibase for our exclusive use helicopter. The core staff includes seven WFRTs, an Administrative Assistant, an Assistant Fire Management Officer, and a Fire Management Officer. Additional personnel may be hired in non-permanent and/or emergency (EFF) capacities as determined by budgetary allowances, weather indices, and the area staffing and action guide. Although every permanent staff member has a detailed position description with clearly stated duties and responsibilities, challenging each other to do more with less is a requirement and contributes much to the cohesiveness and effectiveness of this small team.
Beyond the base, the work environment is vast, with spruce and tundra stretching as far as the eye can see in some places, and several hours of highway driving is required to cross the protection zone from one end to another. Most values at risk are found within the highway corridors and designated as critical or full suppression priorities. Large tracts of white and black spruce are almost always found abutting property receiving the critical and full classifications. Local weather patterns are unique and directly related to the Copper River Basin's proximity to the Gulf of Alaska and surrounding high mountainous terrain. It is not uncommon to experience opposite conditions of adjacent protection areas.
