    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are gathered around equipment on a paved surface next to a large olive-drab military truck. Several soldiers appear to be working with firefighting or emergency response equipment, including what appears to be a compressed air cylinder and hoses. One soldier stands observing while others kneel or crouch to assemble or inspect the gear.

    The 1157th Engineer Company (Firefighters) from the Colorado National Guard conduct an equipment check at the Spring Creek Fire helipad in Fort Garland, Colo., July 6, 2018.

    The CONG has supported the Spring Creek Fire since July 1, 2018, providing capabilities to include: security personnel for traffic control points and roving patrols; two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crews and aircraft each equipped with aerial water buckets; geological information system operators; as well as, refueling crews with Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical refueling trucks and firefighters with HEMTT firefighting vehicles.

    The CONG has also been providing an aviation search and rescue standby capability in support of the Rocky Mountain Area Coordination Center since July 1. The High-Altitude Army National Guard Aviation Training Site facility in Gypsum, Colorado, is supporting the mission which is rapid response to aviation search and rescue missions, primarily for firefighter safety, in support of multiple wildfire responses throughout Colorado.

    On order of the Governor, the standing Joint Task Force - Centennial commands and integrates CONG forces to support civil authorities in assisting Colorado, or supported states, during times of crisis and disaster, to save lives, prevent suffering, and mitigate great property damage.
