I came across this great video from Wildland Firefighters Anonymous about an anonymous Type II Initial Attack Handcrew working a wildfire. The comment that goes along with this video says simply "It's all part of the gig. No recognition need, just proud of our work." What a wonderful video showing this Type II Initial Attack Crew at work somewhere. It doesn't matter, what matters is that they are proud of what they do, and we get a glimpse of this crew at work. I enjoyed the video. I was reminded, yet again, when I saw several shots of tankers and helos working the fire that tankers and helos fly fires to support the troops on the ground.
Stay safe everyone.

I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
