Everyone saying "God bless" and "thank you" should actually show that thanks by calling on their congressional representatives to increase wildland firefighter pay and benefits in the next budget year.
And perhaps asking them to commit to fighting climate change which has brought us to this point where these fires are more dangerous than ever before.
@@Sita22314 climate changes always has and there is nothing we can do about it. There trying to use it for control so stop being a sheep. Real scientists have graphs proving that an increase in greenhouse gas does not raise temperature at all. Oh and the liberal college professor that just got caught light fires in California probably pushes the same nonsense.
@@Cosmicsurfpro Wow. Where do you get your information? The firefighting seasons are longer and more dangerous than they have ever been. While the climate is dynamic it is a known fact that it did not change at the rate it is changing now prior to industrialization. In any case, if you care about the people who risk their lives to mitigate the damage these fires cause you would do well to turn to reputable sources to understand what is happening.
Best comment ever
@@Sita22314 there is alot of things at play but greenhouse gas isn't the cause. It's being used for control. Pollution is bad yes
At 6:21 you can see my friend and Cal Fire Engineer Cory D. Iverson who lost his life on the Thomas Fire in Ventura Ca on 12/14/17. I can honestly say the worst day of my 36 year career. I made a promise when I received the official notice that it was my friend that I was going to bring Cory home. I Helped bring Cory off the line and escorted him to the morgue, Worst drive of my life, and then the long drive back to San Diego was the longest saddest drive of my life. Seeing thousands of people who never met Cory standing on the side of the freeways, on over passes and lining the streets honoring a fire fighter they never knew filled a small portion of the void that was now in my life, the loss of my friend and the best Engineer a Captain could ever ask for has left i big hole in my life that's for sure!!!! Not a single day goes by that I don't miss my friend. I do as much as I can to keep his memory alive. As Cory would say DON'T SUCK !!! I miss you my friend !!!!
I live in Ventura and i honestly thank Engineer Iverson and the entire fire fighter family for the sacrifice as they fought to save the city. His sacrifice is not forgotten here. My three year old loves fire fighters and wants to be one someday. He will know the fallen that have given everything to protect people they may never meet.
@@Monsterinme84 Thank you for keeping Cory's memory alive !!! The last event I attended was when his name was added to the Ventura County Fire Department's memorial in Ventura and seeing the public honoring my friend was very humbling to say the least !!!!
I know exactly how you feel, been there , done that. I learned after losing 4 brothers to a brush fire in july of 76 , that you cant dwell on what was or what could be because grief will not and shouldn't go away , as you need to just make room for it , as it is my way of keeping my brothers memory alive. BE SAFE.
I am so very sorry for you loss! I can't imagine! ❤❤😢😢
I am SO sorry for your loss God rest his soul in peace. My son is a wild land fire fighter (has been for 13 years now) Im from Prescott AZ and when the 19 granite mountain hotshots lost their lives, it was devastating. All the wives, parents family and friends who went thru hell, it was probably the worst time in the history of Prescott. My son is on the El dorado fire right now; please keep them all in prayer.
God bless all our heros.
I live in Central Oregon and this will be my first season as a wildland firefighter. I'm beyond excited!
God bless brother. I had my first fire here in Texas
Eyy, good luck my friend,
Heck yea congrats man, my dream is too be a hotshot so I'm going to a trade school and going through a wild land fire course
What company man I’m out here working for asi an initial attack crew staging in crooked river
Hey, I’m looking to get into fire season next year, could i get some advice?? I live in Corvallis and it would be super cool to know how/where you got in! Thanks man
Graduated high school in 88, was going to join the military and found out about wild land firefighting, spent the next 15 years working for the US Forest Service in many roles of firefighting and miss it and the men and women deeply. This was a great tribute, hats off to Coors for supporting this foundation.
Graduated last year was thinking military as well til I learned about this now this is the career path I want to go on
didn't think of going to college?
@@starmaster191 Now, why do you want to say some dumb shit like that pussy?
Im thinking about doing this before i join the marines
@@bt-qr2iv My best friends son (19) just joined a Hotshot crew. Do it, you will not regret it. Get on a Hot Shot or Heli tack crew, I miss working with those men and women.
I fought wildland fires for 7 seasons. There is no job like it out there no job that'll test your mentality and body more! it gets exhausting 4-5 hours of sleep, on the ground 90% of the time the other 10% on the bus shuttling to a different fire. In that 7 seasons the pay was 16 dollars an hour and when we traveled for a whole day we only got half a day counted as a work day! I seen celebrities houses burn to ashes, ranchers and farmers thank us to the max! I remember this nice lady starting crying telling us how we saved her cows,chickens, and whatnot and spent a whole day baking us cookies and brownies all kinds of sweets I never seen being from Alaska and not accustomed to it but I believe I was more grateful for something other than an MRE to snack on than she was for us saving her farm. I got lots of firefighting stories you grow a comradery with the 20 guys/gals you spend the summer with. Yes!! Women are in this trade some as tough as the men doing this I know many women that are firefighters!
Proud to be a wildland firefighter! Last year I was 19 and it was my first season out in Oregon and heading back in the spring to do my part again. I live in Chicago and no one out here understands what we do or why we do it. I do it because I want to help others and do everything I can for people I don't even know. As a kid I always wanted to serve my country but was diagnosed with leukemia and couldn't join the military, so I did the next best thing and became a wildland firefighter and couldn't see myself doing anything else. Thank you to all those that have come before me and all that will come after me.
How did you get on the path to become a wildland firefighter? I also am 19 and I have been interested in learning more about it.
@@ExtremeTSATrickish look up private company's in the west coast such as grayback forestry or inbound. Their are a lot more out there if you just Google Wildland firefighting jobs you'll see a lot come up. A lot do not require past experience and will provide the training and certs that you will need. Check out Colorado fire camp the have a weekend course that will give you the basic training you need and will make apply for jobs a lot easier. Drop a comment if you have another question. Happy to help
Juan D is it to late to apply for this fire season?
@@justinbrown7004 no but each company and agencies are different like I said look up "wildland fire fighting jobs" see what comes up look up deadlines, requirements etc. Trust me if I can do it and I live in the Midwest it's even easier to find a job if you already live on the west coast. Good luck!
Just so you all know idk if your willing to travel to do this work but firestorm in Chico ca is looking for people and offers the basic 40
I’ve done four years of Wildland and have taken the last two off to work on myself and you guys brought back a wave of emotions. I’ve lost friends, they were my family. I’ve had close calls and I’ve had friends go down on the line with serious injuries and I’ve had injuries myself. We do it because we love it and we also get to help. Thank you for reminding me why I’m on the path I am on.
You are So Appreciated.
We Love YOU ! YOU are a Hero, no mater which part of the service you are doing. Self Care is Mandatory.
Your development, recovery & prayers contribute to every one.
*The most badass of all men and women in the country next to military personnel, law enforcement, and structural firefighters.*
I’m proud to be a wildland firefighter.
Just got out of the military. You guys are more badass in my opinion🤘 Trying to get on a crew for the coming summer.
Analogmp3 sweet! Forest Service, BLM? Contract crew?
@@leviathantoobz I would've liked Forest Service. But I'm pretty sure the application window has already closed 😬. So now I'm looking into DNR (Washington state). Thanks for your service by the way.
Analogmp3 sure, thank you for your service as well. Also contract crews are a good start if you don’t know how to navigate government fire. Forest service has closed, about a month ago. BLM app will open shortly. You have a lot of opportunities in Washington. Good luck.
@@leviathantoobz Thank you and to you as well.
I never knew us firefighters meant so much.
ofc u guys mean so much to us
You do. There are so many people alive today because of your hard work. Society owes you all a debt that is impossible to repay.
I was born and raised in Prescott, AZ. What you guys do means everything to us here in the southwest.
OH Lord ! Have mercy on these People who are so willing to fight for us. To protect & serve. Putting your life at risk. WE DO LOVE & APPRECIATE YOU, SO MUCH !!!
In Jesus Holy Name we send Angels to protect you.🙏💜
In my 34 years I got used to being appreciated by people while their property is threatened and shortly thereafter. Just another nobody after that.
I'm a 63 year-old fire faller saying thank-you and bless you, every one of you for supporting us.
I will do this as long as my body and luck hold out, because nothing else makes me feel so alive.
Thank you SO MUCH !!!
Words are not enough to tell you how much we love YOU & are So Grateful to YOU. HUGS.
How are you doing today? Blessings!
@@paulsmallriver6066 Pretty disappointed that I can't afford to go fire falling this season.
Takes so long to get paid...
@@beblissnow5947 Thank-you very much.
@@MountainMetal That is crazy. Double the pay and issue pa yment soonest.
"Structure guys defend structures, wildland firefighters defend nature" and some of us do both.
SCOPENHAGEN_3 what’s it like? Day to day
I 2nd this. I been a structure fire fighter for 4 years and emr. I'm starting my 3 year in WildLand. I love both. It takes every ounce of life from me. The end of the day it's worth it. Hell I'm only 27, barely at my peak.
@@redjim7342 can you help me apply , find places , i want to be a wildland firefighter and move on to be a jumper
@@silassmith3339 it's a little late now. I'm still trying to get a job myself. Look on usa jobs and look on instagram too
silas Smith check with your local DNR(division of natural resources) or BLM(bureau of land management) they should be able to point u in the right direction
As a marine grunt that normally carried the machine gun i was use to carrying alot of weight, we got deployed to a forest fire in the mid 90s and that kicked my butt, but was weirdly beautiful.
This is my 13th year being wildland firefighting. I've been around since when we were called fake fire fighters and never given that honest true respect until the wild fires started getting worse. Now were called heroes for what we do. I do this for not just mankind but those animals who can't ask for help, those are the ones I try my hardest for. So I ask all firefighters to bring a bit more water for those little animals that can't ask for anything. Give them some nuts and fruit. Leave what we can for them.
My cousin was a hot shot in Washington state and my mom worked the laundry service in the camps. God bless our WLFF’s and personnel.
I served USFS for 7 seasons (primarily as a repeller). This is an excellent documentary. Great job!
Doug was the substitute for my English class one day and he shared his song "The Ballad of Pale Rider" with us, a song about Luke... I'll never forget....
WFF... I know this film has been out over a year now but it’s never too late to say two words that are so easily taken for granted. Thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for these families and dangerous industry. I live in Arizona and we just got through the “Bush Fire”. I have a friend who leads a crew of hotshots and watching them fight this fire from a distance via social media has really opened my eyes to what a wildlife firefighter really does. You WFF, are doing the most amazing work one could do and for this I say (Thank You)...
Scott i live in ND now but i grew up and even worked on 2 hotshot crews , (74-86 Pleasant Valley in young az and Mormon Lake in flagstaff. Im lived all over AZ but i call Mesa home. I have a nephew whose a captain on the tempe fd and his dad recently retired from chandler FD as ASST. fire chief. Neither of them wanted to be a hotshot , too dangerous and they didn't have what it takes to be one anyway. ok im gone, wish i was back living in AZ, soon i hope
Hey I’m half way into my first season and can I just say that smoke is something else and I’ve already burned the bottom of my greens
That was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. The selfless acts of kindness are absolutely inspirational. God bless you guys. Thank you firefighters, for all you do. Thank you to the Wildland Firefighters Foundation for taking care of these hero’s families.
YES ! Hero's !!!
I leave in 21 days to start firefighting. Im excited beyond expression
How is it?
Hope your season went well and coming home safe
Im a wildland FIrefighter and whenever i hit a campaign fire, the people helping us wash clothes and keep us fed and help us make sure logistics are being fullfiled, they really make a world of difference. Thank you heroes!!
I pray that one day I can become one of them. I'm working rn as an EMT on the other side of the country. I'll be going to fire school soon, so wish me luck y'all! I want to bring the Gospel to those men who don't have it yet. Praise God for the wild land firefighters, and praise God for all who support them!
My Grandfather was a USFS Hot Shot supervisor at El Cariso in the 1950's-1960's...he was involved in the Decker Fire. Lost several of his crew. My Father was with Cal Fire in 1960's. Now I have a cousin working the Loyalton fire right now. You guys are incredible Heroes!!
my first job was as a wildland fire fighter. type 2A, type 1 hot shot and then ended as a helirappeler. i had a hard time getting through this, it made me think of the brothers i have lost but it was the most fun i had and miss it to this day. Best job ever.
I simply wish people would open their eyes and see what we brave and toil through during a 14 day rotation. It is definetly a dirty, hard job but you have to love it to do it or you will never make it. These guys are some of the most humble people whom you woyld never think worked such a dangerous and thankless job if you passed them on the sidewalk.
Heli tech right on some great stories I'm sure
thanks for all the work you did man! Im really interested in this job, but sallary is a concern to me. I'm thinking about being a smoke jumper or a hotshot. If you are willing to share, what was your pay, and how was it split up?
@@istach1
Zack you usually have to have years experience to be on those two teams.
@@raidrfrk hooo damn. So if I wanted any of the super fancy job's I'd be spending a whole career as a wildland fighter to be able to reach them? Also is it possible to be a firefighter while going to school since its a seasonal occupation?
@@istach1
For sure most firemen and women are college kid's and if you get on a crew you can move up quick.
I was just saying those hot shots and smoke jumpers are like journeyman firemen.
You will have to compete against many others there's only 22 people on a hand crew.
First of look up the step test and see if you pass it. It's when you climb up a step and back down for 2 minutes they take your blood pressure and it has to be under a certain range. You also have run a mile under 9 mins or 10 I forget.
I can tell you, they helped my friends family when he died . I thank you folks from the bottom of my heart.
This is by far the best story ..Its real , very emotional.. Do I miss this job? Yes... A shout out to all those Wildland Firefighters you'll will always have my respect from season after seasons.. Remember to never let your guard down, Fire is a beast.. remember your 10 standards orders.. 18 watchouts situations list...keeping those in mind will save your life and your crew mates.. Keep safe warriors..Always \m/
Thank you Hero's !!!
Thank you Pete Coors for supporting the Wildland FireFighter Foundation !!!!!!!
I just cried. I can only imagine what these families go through during times like these pass. I am so grateful for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation and the logistical support we receive on large incidences. Nothing beats eating a hot meal after a hard days work, knowing that everything is taken care of and you just have to do your job.
I served 8 years in the Army and I haven’t been able to find that “higher purpose” since I got out. I started to chase money and became horribly depressed. I think becoming a Smokejumper is exactly what I need. That feeling of suffering with a team is irreplaceable. Sure it sucks when you are in it, but once you leave the “work” behind…you miss it like crazy!
Good luck dude
There is veteran hand crews out there.
Boy this sure hit me right in the feels. I don't even drink, but I sure could go for a Coors Banquet. Thank you WFF for what you are doing.
One of the best tributes I've seen. No greater family than the wildland fire family.
The 38 people that thumbed down this!!
(You have no soul) I hope your eyes are opened soon 🙏🏼 I’ll pray...
For real
It could be bots.
weenies......don't respect another's selflessness.....
With wildfire numbers on a rise, year by year these boys' jobs are getting harder. Thumbs up for a thank you to these individuals.
Honorable and Courageous Wildland Firefighters. May they all rest in peace
I’m going into the Wildland Firefighting community this season 2024 and I love how all the men and women I talk to your support helpful out of all the other jobs I’ve had I don’t think I’ve been around people that will go out of their ways to help somebody and I absolutely love it ❤❤
Thank you for making this film. I lost my nephew, who fought wildfires, and was a paramedic. He was a great kid. I think you did a nice job capturing the life of the hotshots, and smoke jumpers. I hope no more people have to die in 2020. This is definitely one of the most dangerous jobs you can have. Hopefully people will see this, want to help support the families of fallen firefighters, by donating to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. I also hope people might see this, and will not do careless things that can lead to a fire, so they don't have to be out there in the first place. I plan to visit this place you built someday. #livelikeluke
Who in the world would 'thumbs down' this? You should be ashamed of yourselves! We pray for the safety and good sense of all our firefighters. Please don't take un-necessary chances.
I am so excited to do my training and start from the bottom and work my way up to a leader sawyer im 24. God bless the families of the lost ones, made me cry.
Hey bro I need sum tips what do I do to start training and where do I train?
God Bless all the FIREMAN who sacrifice their only life to save the lives of others.
As a wildland land firefighter myself.. I want to express my sincere thanks to all of those that support us at base camp and everyone involved at WFF. You guys are the real heroes.
Just re-lived a 40 year career, Excellent post. Thank you.
Bless you
As a mother of a Wildland fire fighter it's hard to know that a part of your heart is out battling in such a dangerous battlefield, watching this has given me some peace in knowing that he's got a whole other family out there and as a mom that gives me relief, albeit doesn't take my fear away, but I can't thank you enough for what you do and what these heros do to protect our beautiful forests - that so many take for granted. It makes me want to help in anyway I can in the support efforts of these warriors.
God bless you all!
This short docu has invigorated me to donate $ to this phenomenal non profit. Thank You to all smoke jumpers for protecting the lands in this great nation.
The memories this brings back is overwhelming! Every word is true! I’ve lived it for 42 years! All Warriors!
Thank you Hero's !!!
I don't cry a lot, and this whole documentary, Luke's story and how you helped his family and memorialized him just brought tears to my eyes. RIP Luke Sheehy and RIP all the brave men and women who protected our wildlands.
“Sorrow is just as valuable as joy”. :’)
Impressed at how the video showed the team effort required. No truely epic endeavors are accomplished without a big team effort. America is about the importance of the individual, but when individuals voluntarily band together, each contributing their own talents, heart and sweat, then it shows how great America can be.
We were fighting that fire when it happened, five miles away hardest day of my life on Granite Mountain in Arizona.... My group does both Structure & Wildland firefighters.....
Bless all the fire fighters. They r hero’s in my book. I just lost my son, a fireman who fo’t wildland & house fires, to lung cancer on 12-6-23. His legacy will live on in all the brave firefighters who fight to protect us.❤️😢
As a former hotshot and 16 year firefighter thank you for what u do
His candle was blown out before his time. He is honored and remembered for all time
In 1994 on the Gila National Forest we lost our brothers in a helicopter crash, helicopter 306! Sean, Sam and the helicopter pilot were killed I wish I could remember the pilots name! But that season will never be forgotten! And I hope that their names are there! For the those who given their all! For all ones that fallow their footsteps will be protected!
As a smoke jumper for 5 years (Canada) I am going to visit Boise, ID. Something I got to do.
That lady running the laundry service is a saint!
What an absolute honor and privilege it is to know that these brave men and women are out there, fighting to defend our country.
This was a great short story,living around all this kind of stuff, really makes me appreciate the wildlands firefighter even more. Plus hats off to all the volunteers,that donate there time for the living and fallen firefighters.
Volunteer Firefighter in Creston BC.
We've had 4 wildland fires in the last 4 weeks.
looks like a rough summer.
I fought fires for three years.
Ever since 19 fire fighter died in LA, they only mop up anymore.
Days of the heroes is over.
What does this mean?
respect to you men and women who put your life on the line for others... from Scotland
I grew up in Colorado, made a home in both my heart forever and physically in Montana, now reside in NM... fire has surrounded me like mountains for 50 years. I wish I had known how beautiful these people were and are... I'm donating. May God show His face to each and every one of those who battle the flames, and fight the fire of broken hearts. Thank you.
God watches our back in Jesus name.
Make sure you donate to the Foundation. The government has only paid funeral costs in the past with no support for the family, while the foundation comes in and will help the family however they can.
Proud father of TWO of these guys, who are out there right now TODAY, just doing it. We’ve been to the Foundation headquarters and walked the memorial walk. That is without question the most chilling and heartbreaking walk I’ve ever taken. Thank you so much for what you do and thank you for this video.
I would love to go there. You have brave selfless sons. I pray they always make it home safe. Thank you and God Bless.
"Administration costs." Be careful where you donate people. I say it all the time. There has always been fraud and distribution issues among charitable organizations.
Administrative costs are often fraud.
Find the needy and give to them directly. Its not hard to find needy
Totally a pile of crap!!! “Admin cost?” How could they steel that money from those families that lost a Dad, husband,brother and sister? These people should be in prison!!! Anyone else would be, that’s for sure!!! There empty pocket cost plain and simple...
Thank you for taking the lead to by pass bureaucracy.
Any time you insert a government entity they always figure out a way to put it to someone with there pants up... #smallgoverment
I made a donation, thank you for all you do.
These are real heroes, God protect these people
Living in northern cali and growing up in the mount shasta area I know quite a few and have worked with some of the guys in this documentary silent professionals truly heros
If that doesn't bring tears to your eyes. Support your wildland firefighters in any way you can.
These folks should have the same benefits that our military servicepeople get. Just as dangerous and just as cruicial, maybe more.
a lot of them are volunteering national guardsman
they really should. and it's not like this country is short on money. stop being cheap!
I fought wild land fires for 7 seasons. Thanks for this! As a woman, I would love to have more images of women firefighters working on the line.
Army veteran, about turn 30, from california ,about to do my first season and starting with the Dixie fire!
Once a Fire Fighter myself.. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE. " STAY SAFE BROTHERS AND SISTERS.... " MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL....
Takes a special person to do their job man . Nothing but respect for those men and women out fighting fires .
I have worked with Vicki and Burk before and I will say this right now: these people care. They do everything shown here plus so much more! They are amazing people and I am honored to know them and be able to work with them whenever I can.
20 year wildland firefighter, this really touched me deep hit some nerves. I just want to thank you for all you have done for us in the fire world with all my heart and a few tears I thank you
praying for the firefighters fighting the wildfires right now in the west coast! be safe y'all. .
This really hit my heart. July 4,1970 I was pulled out of a burning house.
Firefighters have a special place in my heart.
Y'all are angels
Mere words could never express my gratitude and love for these men and women. Mere words could never express my profound sympathy for those that lose their lives or health doing this job. They willingly walk into a hell on earth that's other people's worst nightmare. To me, the only thing that could possibly be worse is a volcano. I'm an old woman from the ranches of Montana and I know the sheer and absolute terror of a raging forest fire. Seeing wild animals come running out on fire. Trying with all your might to move your livestock. It truly is hell.
Each and every one of you have my absolute respect 💯%.
And to those that are the core of the program for these guys, you are amazing people. I hate donating to most places because it never gets to where it was meant to be. But now that I know about your program, I will be donating to you.
Thank you for protecting the wilderness and all of the animals.
If you liked this, you should check out the movie "Only The Brave"
SAW it but not the way other people go to movies, i went in hopes of getting answers to some questions i had because i needed to know why 19 out of 20 hotshots had to die or why did it come to fire shelters when they had a lookout and posted him just to mention one ? To me , it was kinda a training movie, although i literally had to have help getting out of the theatre , it affected me that much as i was a hotshot for 12 years 74-86 and lost 4 brothers to a brush fire in cole on july 17,76
@@rond425 God Bless you & peace be with you. We Love YOU.
Thank you for your service.
Wish I could just reach out & Hold all of you. YOU & your Brothers Are HERO'S !!! My heart goes out to you & I weep with you. 🙏⚘💜
Best video I have ever seen. True heroes all the way around.
We need to get logging back to the way it used to be in the northwest so we can slow the amount of fire we have every year.
Native's knew the system.
Get the elders knowledge Alive & the government out.
I pray I can honor these brave men and women a fraction of what they deserve as I follow my dream of becoming a firefighter! God Bless 🙏❤️🙌✝️thank you
Thank you to all the wildland firefighters AND wildland firefighter support staff for what you do your work dose not and will not go unnoticed!!!!!
Hi Daniel Peterson. I've been a wildland firefighter for 19 years. Im from NEW MEXICO
Thank you for all that do and all that you’ve done, I work for a commercial fire protection company in Boise. You guys deserve the biggest raises and appreciation. I will make sure our company reaches out to wildlife museum and foundation. “Live like Luke!”
As a resident of Idaho, I am so thankful for our wildland firefighters. They help protect our state every year. Without them our state would of been devastated by fires so many times. God bless you all for all you do. Praying for a safe fire season this year and that no one is injuries or fatalities.
This touched my heart as my two sons are third generation volunteer firefighters. My father was a volunteer Fire Chief foe 11 years. Both my son's are Wildland Firefighters Cornplanter Fire District Western PA. So proud of them. I am a semi-active volunteer Driver/Engineer with our local fire dept. God bless all that serve!! And those that went before us!
Here during the Lava fire and Salt fire after being evacuated. Hometown is in this video. I wish I was part of it. I hope I can by next year 🤞🏻
I've had 56 years on this big blue ball. My list of greatest achievements are short but meaningful to me. Two...my children. They have grown into God fear loving people who both sought out jobs that help others. I'm proud of them and cant imagine walking this earth one more step without them doing so as well. I admire your strength and determination to not give into disparate. You honor your sons spirit everyday. To the ones who created this foundation that honors and supports the firefighter family.. you encapsulate all of humanities best qualities. I will be praying for all of you.
True warriors
I totally respect all fire fighters who give thier lives for anouther
Firefighters who fight wild fires are fighting fires frm hell . Thank you for all your hard hard work the dication that comes straight frm the heart
So sorry for all those who lost thier lives fighting these hell fires

Greetings from a German Wildland Firefighter.
I’m so happy for media I got a clear understanding of the hidden city northbound in the Mongolia’s bone Locker
Just expecting Wranglerstar to say “Welcome back to the shop”
I just sent in my applications for Montana Crews... nervous but excited.
started at 18 right out of high school with county fire for 3 years then got a temp seasonal job with the forest service on an engine 5:38 . got a permanent position as a firefighter and was told the goal is to have thanksgiving dinner with your family every year
You guys are real heroes. You deserves my full respect. Greetings from Serbia
