By the numbers
The window
First Ranger signed on Wed May 20 at 11:30 AM Pacific. Last Ranger signed off Mon May 25 at 6:51 PM Pacific. 127 hours of operational coverage. Every six-hour shift period across the event had at least one Ranger on duty — no coverage gaps anywhere in the timeline.
Incidents by category
71 incidents filed across 18 categories. The MUST REPORT band (lost child, DV, sexual violence, violence, medical emergency, psychiatric emergency, harassment) totaled 14 — about 1 in 5. A post-event categorization refinement split the previously generic "Other" bucket into Camp Ops, Vehicle / Equipment, Transport, Welfare Check, Flagged Individual, and Animal so the next year's reports start with sharper category lines.
| Category | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Camp Ops | 15 | Camp infrastructure, placements, production logistics |
| Vehicle / Equipment | 8 | Vehicles, gators, traffic, road blockage |
| Medical Emergency MUST | 7 | |
| Welfare Check | 7 | Soft wellness contacts, overwhelmed participants |
| Conflict | 6 | Interpersonal disputes, mediation |
| Transport | 6 | Courtesy Gator rides, medical transport |
| (uncategorized) | 6 | Mostly Quick Incidents that didn't receive a category during triage |
| Animal | 2 | |
| Flagged Individual | 2 | Heads-up advisories about known bad actors |
| Harassment MUST | 2 | |
| Theft | 2 | |
| Weather | 2 | |
| DV MUST | 1 | |
| Fire | 1 | |
| Lost Child MUST | 1 | |
| Psychiatric Emergency MUST | 1 | |
| Sexual Violence MUST | 1 | |
| Violence MUST | 1 |
The roster
88 distinct callsigns appeared on the active-rangers roster, across six operational roles. Dirt Rangers carried the bulk of patrol hours; Khaki and Lead split the shift-coordination seat across every six-hour window of the event.
| Role | Shift records | Distinct callsigns |
|---|---|---|
| Dirt Ranger | 122 | 69 |
| Khaki | 38 | 19 |
| OOH / Lead | 9 | 7 |
| Kit | 8 | 7 |
| Mentor | 7 | 5 |

Top operational contributors
Ranked by meaningful audit-log entries — incident updates, report creations, escalations, shift sign-ons/offs, admin edits — excluding the passive login / session-expire noise. These are the callsigns that put the most work into the system itself across the event. App-operator / pre-event admin work isn't counted here — that's a different shape of contribution than running shifts.
| # | Callsign | Actions |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lazareth | 272 |
| 2 | Paddington | 130 |
| 3 | Hazelnut | 103 |
| 4 | Short Bus | 102 |
| 5 | Bear Toe | 89 |
| 6 | Peaches | 83 |
| 7 | Garnet | 61 |
| 8 | Lens | 56 |
| 9 | Parzival | 36 |
| 10 | Kendrid Spirit | 18 |
| 11 | Tugboat | 17 |
| 12 | Thespian | 8 |
| 13 | Heron | 7 |
| 14 | Cannoli | 7 |
| 15 | Malarkey | 5 |
Plus 19 more callsigns with 1–5 audit-traced actions each. And everyone who showed up in the field — whose work was radio'd in, witnessed, and trusted without leaving an audit-trail.
A note
This was a deliberately small system — single event, single tenant, Pacific time, retired the week after the burn. Most features came from feedback during the run: bug reports filed live by Rangers between shifts, escalations that surfaced workflow gaps, the Command Center sync prototype that grew out of needing offline-tolerant station coverage, and the post-event categorization pass that re-sorted "Other" into six clearer buckets so next year's reports start sharper.
The audit log captures the system's side of the story. The interesting story lives in the heads of the people who ran the shifts — please drop your account in the feedback form above.
