'The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) notified the Forest Service of the findings of its investigation of the Thirtymile Fire on the Okanagan-Wenatchee National Forest in July 2001. OSHA cited the Forest Service for two willful and three serious violations. In response to the violations, the Forest Service is immediately implementing all of the actions described below. In addition, the Forest Service is amending the Accident Prevention Plan (dated December 14, 2001, and updated January 14, 2002) by letter to all Forest Service field units; and consulting with member agencies of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group to address the hazards identified by OSHA across the wildland firefighting community.'
