No rangers or camp-hosts to clean up after the people who never learned or don't care. Maybe a lack of PPE for them. Some of those may get re-activated, but I'm not seeing much yet declaring them...

From my research, 1 ton is about 12,000 BTU. These seem to run about 1200-1400W on high. I've found some in 110-120v models, but anything bigger is 220-240v.
