Life on a hotshot crew

Join videographer Bureau of Land Management Contract Videographer Matt Irving following the Colorado Craig Interagency Hotshot crew on a fourteen day assignment. The incidents shown in the video were in California and Montana. I have seen various crew videos of Hotshot crews and learned a lot from those videos. This video gave me a different perspective as I followed the crew on the video and listened to some commentary from individual hotshots. Hotshot crews are but one of many crews fighting wildfires. There are other types of crews that may be on a fire for fourteen day assignments as well as engine crews, go to this NIFC page to learn about the different type of crews. While I notice that Hotshot crews do a lot of work on wildfires in the western U.S., they will work where needed including the eastern U.S.

Allow just under 25 minutes to watch the video, it is worth the time/ Enjoy!
