Thank God for all heroes! A guy I went to high school with died 5 months after graduation in 1966 in the Loop Fire in the Angeles national Forest. One of 12 El Cariso HotShots who died. Such a loss to their families and to all of us for what might have been!❤️🙏
thank you man I cant speak for all us but y'all love chokes me up sometimes it makes us feel like heros if fuels us and keep us moving when our muscles are shaking and it's just one step in front of the next
being somewhen that loves the outdoors and living in California so ive seen some of the effects and destruction these fires cause i dont think These Hotshots and everyone that supports them really understand how much they mean to all of us outdoor lovers and residents Thank you all .
These guys are bad ass ! I have dreamed of becoming a wild land firefighter... yes ive dreamed about it. Its not because of the money but because its a good feeling to help others out and protect peoples homes i think im up for the challenge
You’d be surprised by what you can truly accomplish out in the field. You come back a different man. You can definitely do it if you put your mind to it and remind yourself why you’re doing it during those grueling days.
As a retired 10 year Intial Attack/Helli firefighter in the Rockies, we had it pretty easy compared to US Hotshot crews. I’ve worked with US Hotshot crews in Canada and they were a good, hardworking group.

I live in a small rural village up in alaskas frontier and i am happy to say that my younger brother is a hotshot. I had no clue what a hot shot wildland fire figther was and this video sure explained alot. Thats just awesome!
We love our Fulton Hotshots!! We live in Glennville, CA. Their camp is two miles up the road from our house!! If it wasn’t for Fulton, our little town (population 131) probably wouldn’t be here!!
@@nightfighter7452 were not hiding were working in front of a fire for 16s dragging ass pouring our hearts into the dirt via sweat blood and fear out of cell service with no camera gear you have to be fit enough with the mentality to do that nobody who wants to make a tv show is gonna stand 50 yards from a flame wall after hiking nine miles uphill to watch 10 to 20 men dig for the remainder of a 16 hour shift
Been thinking about becoming a hotshot after my 1st career. Very noble and appealing career in my opinion. Gotta get my money through line work first so I can still live lavish on the off time 🤙
In here after creek fire never knew what the hot shots go thru. I would love too help out with the front line of wildfire s I don't want to go back to college for this but I figure. What the hell I got this give me the time and day to help out.
There's only a special breed which will succeed being a firefighter, either wildcard or public. Which one is up to you. I had been a wildcard firefighter for 23 yes. RAH!
Hi everyone. I am pretty new to the wildland firefighter scene. I have taken a few intro courses online at NWCG and plan to attend the Wildfire Academy in Arizona in March. I also just recently got my EMT and have taken a bunch of Incident Command classes. I am looking to move to the Phoenix area in the next few months as well. I applied to the BLM a couple months ago and I am trying to figure out how to get in touch with crews to see if they are still hiring? Any ideas? Any advice in general would be much appreciated. I reached out to the BLM Phoenix office but havent heard back. Just trying to figure out the best way to get experience and get on a crew
Usajobs.com can tell you alot about who's still hiring and if you have applied for the blm chances are you've been there keep checking your email they will tell you if you been referred to the hiring manager or as such I hope this helped you out also I'm pretty sure theres state agencies down that way I would check online and start researching hope the best for ya
I am a type 1 diabetic and am constantly thinking of a way to get involved in this kind of job. Currently aspiring to be a firefighter paramedic but would like to experience a season of this atleast once in my life. Though keeping insulin cool in such austere environments is the only challenge for someone like me. I have tremendous respect for anyone who is able to do this job and any further information regarding what it is like or possible solutions for my problem that would only come from having actually worked in such a position would be greatly appreciated.
I’m interested in this career field but i don’t know who to reach out to ask some questions about it because well I don’t know anyone who does this.So like if you do this job and you’re willing to answer my questions about it I will really appreciate it
Go to USAjobs.gov apply for GS-3 Forestry Technician Positions. Tell then waaaaaaay to much detail on your résumé. Just trust me. Call to where you apply... Pro tip: wanna most likely get a job? Go and apply to R5 jobs (California positions) region 5 is desperate for man power and they’ll take rookies. Be persistent you’ll get it. But you’re gonna have to want it.
What do you want to know about how to get started as in the certifications you need, I'll tell you, fastest way to get it done join your local volunteer fire department they will pay for you to take S130/S190 and if they are an EMS department you'll get your EMT which the makes you more marketable to Wildland crews
You won't become a millionaire but it depends on your certifications how much you make so if you're a sup trainee you'll make more than a guy on a shot crew
there is Nothing warrior about them ..... Join the USMC or US ARMY in that join SF Unit if you want that title.... Your well paid Nobody is shooting at you get real .....

Im going on a hotshot crew this summer for my first season of fire I’m really excited yet scared at the same time hope it’s a good season.
You’ll do good I’ll see you out there on the fire line 🔥
Good luck rookie
How do I get on a hotshot crew for my first season?
How was it?
Howd it go??
I'm very interested in this career, as my dad was chief firefighter, just had a kid and I think this will be most rewarding
I honestly hope I can pass my training. 5 more months in the program and if I pass I'll see where it is I want to branch off into
Thank you to you hot shots for being hero’s and protecting our Mother Earth.
Going into my third season one season in Southern California and two seasons in the pacific north west region 6 👨🏾🚒🚒🔥🪓
Stay safe brothahs! Heros
FIREFIGHTERS WALK WHERE TTHE DEVIL DANCES! HOTSHOTS STRUT WHERE THE LORAX BURNED UP!!!
Fight fire aggressively but SAFETY FIRST! N YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINED. HOTSHOTS WHICH ARE THE MOST PROFESSIONAL!
You know when goggins seeks out your job its hardcore
Navajo hotshots 2002
I feel like a complete loser watching this from my bed.
Get up, get out, and go.
Been thinking about becoming a hotshot after my 1st career. Very noble and appealing career in my opinion. Gotta get my money through line work first so I can still live lavish on the off time 🤙
Bouta do my rookie training for next season 💪
I love and miss fire
It is not just the Hot Shots that run toward the fire.
Wow it's like being in the military
In here after creek fire never knew what the hot shots go thru. I would love too help out with the front line of wildfire s I don't want to go back to college for this but I figure. What the hell I got this give me the time and day to help out.
Hell yeah awesome video fight fire here in region 3 at my Taylor

There's only a special breed which will succeed being a firefighter, either wildcard or public. Which one is up to you. I had been a wildcard firefighter for 23 yes. RAH!
Badass hope to join them soon
Actually inital attack are the first ones in not the hotshots.
I'm glad R&R went to 3 days but it should really be 5.
Algunos Heroes no usan capa
Every hot shot should have a Honda big red atc with 5 in high 5 in low there's no where this machine won't go
