Did fire as part of a private crew for a summer while I was in college. Got worked like an absolute dog, but the money was worth it imo. If you don't mind tramping around in the woods and manual labor its a good gig as a young dude.

Q: what is the difference between god and a hotshot
A: god doesn't think he's a hotshot
Yep.
But in all seriousness, Hotshots and Smoke Jumpers are pretty gnarly people by nature. Generally mountain men.
The crew regarded by most West Coast Firefighters as the baddest of the bad was the Los Padres Hotshots from Santa Barbara from the 90's and early 2000s. Surfers, but also super tough mountain men. Drop them from a plane or helicopter in the middle of the wilderness and they could be self sufficient for days.
Seriously. My son got his hookup on his current gig with a type 2 IA crew through a female who's a total smoke show (in my humble and extremely primal opinion) and also a female who knocked it out on the line.Preach, but.
Every fire crew that has rolled through town this summer has had some rad chicks on it.
Wait until you see the female convict crews. Some of those girls make you wonder, "What the hell did you do so wrong that you landed yourself in jail?"Preach, but.

Fook. That sucks. I feel like that area burned recently. We visited Hetch Hetchy just before covid and I remember some burned out areas along the way.Oak Fire going off like a nuke
Now this is a joke, I like to respect women but these ladies sound like perfect candidates for my Prison Brothel System of criminal rehabilitation. You scratch my back I scratch yours. Win/Win! Waste not want not. A kooter-flapper is a terrible thing to waste. In all seriousness, well, just make it back.Tell us more!
