Explain: The fireworks display is occurring at Mount Rushmore National Memorial in Keystone, SD.

The event schedule will require approximately 12 hours of work on site. The event is expected to attract crowds of people and as a result fill all hotel rooms in the area. The Memorial is also remote with nearby towns further away. Being able to find personnel or equipment who don’t require lodging or can travel within the same day is necessary.

3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received or anyone expressed interest:

Private Ambulance services are not available in this vicinity. Other agencies were not able to provide staff due to other planned events. These rates are comparable to NWCG Cooperator rates.
