I didn't know those who gave there all. But my ex knew them. I spent two years on a lookout with BLM over east.
Once you have wildland fire in your blood, it never goes away. When the cells build and they start spittin lightning, life is worth living.
I sure miss those day's!!!!!
Hotshots kick butt! And they know it. My hat is off to those who gave their all. I salute them.
