With wildfires burning across the Pacific Northwest, thousands of firefighters are called into rural areas to fight massive fires for weeks on end. To support those firefighters, camps are set up within 24 hours to house, feed, shower and supply these 24/7 operations.
Thanks to @pdx.atproto.camp for another inspiring meetup! @johnandersen777.bsky.social is doing impressive work with @socialweb.computer, and @timtrautmann.com is just casually making the literal atmosphere atmospheric with @atmowx.net
