Five years of research, education, and development went into the formation of the team.Captain Randy Flynn coordinates the regional team and is the District's peer counselor. He works with other agency representatives from East Fork Fire District, Douglas County Communications, Alpine County firefighters, Barton Memorial Hospital, Douglas County Sheriff's Office, and search and rescue personnel to provide on call services.
