On its last journey ever in service Bergbahn Lauterbrunnen–Mürren (BLM) class Be 4/4 number 23 has just arrived in Grütschalp.
The Bureau of Land Management sent Equipment Shop employees to the BFX Fire Apparatus factory in Weatherford, Texas to perform comprehensive vehicle inspections on new fire vehicles. Over the course of three days the equipment shop inspected eight Type-Six Engines and three Command Vehicles. This process is done to find and address any discrepancies between the received product and the specifications established in the contract before the vehicle is put into service.
The Equipment Shop takes on inspection projects many times a year in addition to research and development, modifications and repairs, and other fire vehicle related duties.

BLM Fire uses various types of fire engines to help us get the job done. Each engine has a specific purpose. For example, certain engines are better for off-road travel, while others carry larger quantities of water and are better when there are not nearby water sources.

This photo is of a sign I found at a local restaurant stating the importance of wearing a mask and #BLM. This photo was taken at Taco More located on Parkfield Dr. This location is about 5 miles from my place and takes 10 minutes to arrive. In my immediate neighborhood (Far West), I rarely see BIPOC or the support of BLM. However, within my Latinx community, I would say the topic often comes up through supportive conversations and the opposite as well. I have learned that anti-blackness is very prominent in the Latinx community specifically with older folks.
Our firefighters have arrived to the BLM Muskrat Fire Station located in Tooele County, UT and are preparing for fire incidents across the nation. In a teambuilding exercise, they shared personal and professional facts about themselves. May 2023.

Protest against police brutality in New York, 2020.
Marches all over the United States, and later around the World, were triggered by the murder of George Floyd by police officer Darek Chauvin.
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill.Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down, begging for his life and repeatedly saying "I can't breathe".A second and third officer further restrained Floyd while a fourth prevented bystanders from intervening.[4][5]:6:24 During the final three minutes Floyd was motionless and had no pulse[6][7] while Chauvin ignored onlookers' pleas to remove his knee, which he did not do until medics told him to.The following day, after videos made by witnesses and security cameras became public,all four officers were fired. Two autopsies found Floyd's death to be a homicide.[12][13] Chauvin was initially charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, to which was later added second-degree murder; the three other officers were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

From water sampling to ecosystem studies and trail maintenance, Union Mine High School students put their outdoor skills to the test at the Greenwood Creek River Access on December 5, 2017.
As part of a biannual class focusing on watersheds and ecosystems, students spent the morning in small groups rotating across the area, managed by the Bureau of Land Management in California. Jeff Horn, lead recreation planner for the BLM Mother Lode Field Office, helped oversee activities and provided a brief overview of the nearly 20,000 acres of public lands.
“Greenwood Creek River Access provides the public with access to the many outdoor recreation activities – like fishing, hunting, rafting, biking and horseback riding – that you would expect from such an amazing place,” Horn said.
Mother Lode, also known as Gold Country for its numerous mining districts, is a historic area along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada.
Students hiked a short distance to the South Fork of the American River, which offers renowned whitewater rafting and fishing opportunities. One group of students measured phosphate, nitrogen and pH levels in the river with a multiparameter water-testing meter, while others learned about the importance of public lands in preserving native ecosystems.
A third group assisted with the identification and removal of Scotch broom along nearby trails. The invasive shrub has damaged the habitats of native plants and animals in the area, and can be removed with a specialized tool. Students also repaired a split-rail fence and helped define trail boundaries using downed tree branches.
“I’ve never had the opportunity to come out here before,” said Chris, one of the students learning about trail maintenance, who said he looks forward to mountain biking in the area with his family.
Union Mine High School teachers emphasized the importance of applying science studies in a real-world environment, and allowing students to see how biologists and hydrologists conduct testing and experimentation.
“For some kids, they have never been out on the river; they have never been on trails and hikes, so this is just a good experience to get them out of their comfort zone and hopefully make them want to come back out,” said Chad McGowan, a biology teacher and Science Department chair at Union Mine High School.
This event is part of the BLM’s ongoing mission to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

National and regional leaders for the Bureau of Land Management visited a timber sale demonstration in the Salem District of Oregon, July 11, 2014.
During presentations from local BLM staffers, executives got an introduction to the Oregon and California Railroad Grant Lands, and also were schooled on updates to modern forestry equipment, like LIDAR (Light Detection and Radar).
The day concluded with the timber thinning demonstration at Gordon Creek, which is a part of the Lower Sandy River Watershed, east of Portland.
