In the fifth-largest wildfire season on record for the state of Colorado, the Town of Eagle used Tarana to swiftly deploy emergency internet amid Derby Fire relief efforts last week — read quotes from the team below!
“Thanks to Tarana, the Town of Eagle Public Works and Broadband teams delivered high-speed internet to the Incident Command Post within hours —supporting emergency teams and protecting our community when it mattered most.” — McLaren Smith, IT Analyst
“Public Works was assisting the Derby Fire Incident Management Team establish water and wastewater services to support a large Incident Command Post (ICP) when we learned that they also had a critical need for broadband service. With the help of the town’s IT department and Tarana equipment, we were able to work together to quickly provide service to the ICP. It was very impressive to see how easily we could improvise a mounting system and bring internet connectivity to an off-grid ICP serving over 800 personnel. In our environment, wildfire response is critical to public safety, property protection, and preserving our way of life. It was great that we were able to assist so effectively in this effort.” — Tom Gosiorowki, Public Works Director
