I couldn't find this story in any Oregon publication or media. I know Fox is known to distort it's findings But when I research the subject I only get blogs about the fox video.
This is from the Oregon Department of Forestry regarding Firefighters
Quote:
There is no contract requirement that supervisors on contract crews speak any language other than English. There is a requirement that supervisors be able to communicate with the workers for whom they are responsible. This is essential to ensure that all personnel are made aware of safety hazards that can develop quickly in firefighting.
Consequently, if private companies elect to hire crew members who do not speak English, those supervisors must be bilingual or multilingual.

So if you arrive with a crew and you can't communicate with them...pack your bags.
