firefighterblog has a wonderful wrap-up on the quiet departure of IC Commander Mike Deitrich from the Basin Complex Fire leadership, and some of his public relations blunders, including the Apple Pie incident and the Tassajara Zen Center abandonment. I highly recommend that you take a look, if you have not done so, yet.
