These men and women are built different and are athletes for sure 🔥

What is a hotshot crew? Interagency hotshot crews are groups of elite wildland firefighters, with 18 to 22 members per crew who are chosen for their rigorous training, peak physical fitness, and proven skills in complex fire operations.

Hotshots perform the toughest assignments: direct line construction, structure protection, holding firelines in steep or remote terrain, and supporting all phases of wildfire response.

Our hotshots have been training hard and preparing for upcoming wildfire activity so they are ready to protect the communities and landscapes we all cherish.

❗️ELEVATED RISK FOR WILDFIRE SPREAD❗️

Once again folks, DO NOT BURN. There are many people burning again and leaving fires unattended since we got a little rain. We need a very solid rain for about a day to make up for this dry weather. If a wildfire occurs, you can be held responsible for all cost!
