this 2021 article says that there are 11,000 portable radios in the
radio cache at boise
gonna look for a 2nd source of confirmation of that number
that number is also mentioned on page 2 here -
https://www.nifc.gov/sites/default/files/NIICD/docs/2023%20NIRSC%20Users%20Guide%20Webview.pdf
- but we are not sure if they are talking about 11,000 radios or -
1,000 radios issued 11 times thru the 2022 fire season
though I suppose if they get up around 20,000 people working on the
firelines at the same time - as they do during PL5 conditions - then
we can see a need for maybe 10,000 radios - but dont most of them
already have radios from their home forest or home agency?
