Morning farmergirl angie

Thanks for recognizing all the hard work done and not only the wildland firefighters but also the law enforcement, structure firefighters and our armed forces that keep us safe, thanks again for viewing our video hope you enjoyed it, we will see you when the smoke clears at the end of the fire season. Thanks again friend. M.Dia
I live in the white mountains. I sit here and watch this with tears in my eyes and love in my heart for each of you. I am sure you have been working the Cedar Creek fire. Prayers for you on the lines and our community to be safe. Hero's everyone of you. Great videos too!
Hi Sheila
Thanks for viewing our video, we really appreciate your thoughts and prayers for the crews that work on these wildfires, we take a lot of risk doing our job to save communities and especially keeping the public safe from wildfires, we are sorry to say that we are in New Mexico at this time helping our neighbors on the Dog Head incident, we were dispatched before the Cedar incident but we have many brothers and sisters from our region and other regions of the nation doing their job to protect the public on that incident, thanks again we really appreciate your comments. Take care Sheila. See you when the smoke clears. M.Dia
Blessings up on all of you who do this work. Thanks for the reply.
Am Grateful. You saved me, when you fought the Station Fire, in So. Cal, in 2009. Now I live in AZ, and follow your goodness, dedication and your superior skills. Thank you is never enough. 2016 is a monster year for fires...
Hi Patti
Thank you so much for your kind words towards our crew and other crews nationwide, we remember those days when we battled the station fire and that was no easy task, we will continue to do what we can for the public to protect them from these out of control wildfires, it's a risky job to deal with but we love it and we love hearing from folks we came into contact with on the fireline and off the fireline. The nicest words from you can make us move mountains and that's truly a motivation for us. thank you so much for your kind words and remembering that we wildland firefighters nationwide risked our lives and did our best to stop that fire from putting public lives at risk. This 2016 fire season is already as you say a "Monster " and a sleeping giant were preparing ourselves for the worst scenarios of the year. At the end of it we will see you when the smoke clears, thanks again from your friends, the Geronimo Hotshots welcome you to AZ
you always have a place, if you ever up Payson way.
You guys put together some great videos. I legit crawl out of my skin watching them as I'm desperately rehabbing a broken tib/fib since October, hoping to be ready for this season! Stay safe this year.
Morning Paul, Thanks for the review on our crew videos it means a lot to us when nice folks like yourself ad in their input, sorry to hear about the recent injury and if your willing to crawl out of your skin while watching our videos than I'm sure your ready to take on another fire season and help us battle these wildfires, thanks for the input bro I'm sure we will run into you sooner or later and make sure you stay safe , heal up we're going to need you out of the fire line. Takecare friend and thanks again from the crew.M.Dia
wow this video is so inspiring. I'm currently serving in the Army and I think being a hotshot may be the next path for me to take. I have so much respect for all of you. keep up the great work you're an incredible asset to our land and our people. I hope someday I will be in your ranks!
Morning Eddie
Thank you for your service to our country it's always nice to meet a veteran that's eager for more hard work. I think once you tried this job with all the adrenaline of fighting fires and the good feeling of helping people your not going to want another job, well I'm sure you have already experience that while serving in the ARMY but if you want change come join us veterans are always welcome. Just look into the nearest hotshot crew in your town we have a family of hotshots everywhere. Thanks again friend from all of us here at the GIHC program for serving our country and keeping us safe. I'm sure we'll see when the fires are out and the smoke clears. Take care. M.Dia
Great video. Watched every season video and looking for the future ones. Can't wait to start doing this in a few years out here in Southern California. Have a save and adventures 2016 season.

Another great video. I have seen several of your videos -- two from your 2014 season, your 2015 motivation video, and your video on being a hotshot. I have learned a lot from your videos. Thanks for giving us an insight into what you do. I have shared your videos with my friends on my blog.

Hi sorry for the late response we just finished our tour fighting 4 fires in southern Arizona one heck of a busy tour and a good one, we do have a website but it does not hold information of our where abouts but you can look up SWCC (southwest coordination center) or type in SIT300 these sites show the where abouts or availability of resources including us. Hopefully soon we will be traveling through your area, thanks again friend we will see you soon. M.Dia
Stay safe.

Hey whats up Mario? Sweet video once again brotha, well looks like fire is dragging me into another state to WildLand Fire contract crew for this fire season. Maybe, just maybe, this coming 2017 will be the year I can come home. I also got some training coming up in Tucson real soon. I might just stop through for a short visit will see how it pays out......
Morning D3MBOiiZ,
Thanks for viewing our video and we're glad you enjoyed the video, Sounds nice how work sends you to different area to get the feel of a different crew, different leadership styles, and being apart of another family, stay safe this year bro hopefully we run into you out on the fire line soon, thanks again for the comment and viewing our crew video. We will see you when you get back to AZ take care. M.DIA
+Mario Dia
I was looking at this year for linking up with the crew! Home is not like it use to be, for me anyway! I was talking with Sam about coming home and joining you all. I just figured I take this year and see whats out there with my options. I had applied to different agencies and the BLM. I have not heard anything back, so, I just took the offer out in Durango, CO. Yup everything is set just need a few training then the move out to CO. Hey man brotha, you guys be safe this season and Hope to run into guys somewhere out there.....
What day is it? Fucking leg day!
man mario you look badass in them sun glasses
Morning Joshua
Thanks for the comment with my sunglasses, oakleys are the only sunglasses I wear on the fire line well I collect a few and I would recommend you buy some for yourself bud they will help sheild your eyes out there and of course the style will make yourself look badass, take care bud thanks for the comment and hopefully we will see you soon on the fire line. M.DIA
Alright cool bro thanks for the tip
+Geronimo Hotshots hey mario what kind of boots should i get
Hi Joshua
Thanks for the question, at this time I wear Whites rough out boots they are perfect due to the way they are built they have very good ankle support also they can last two or three fire seasons, these are heavy duty boots and can last a long time when walking and working on the fireline. If you want comfort try the Lowa or Haix wildland fire boots that are comfortable lightweight hiking boots but they do have its ups and downs when working on the fireline the glue that bonds the materials may separate or weaken and will not with stand the heat. Sorry for the late response I finally got off the fire line and had a hell of a day. I'm sure someone will give you another update on which boots to buy also for now I can't really think haha sorry had a busy day and planning for tomorrow's operation. Take care bud talk to you soon. M.Dia
Thanks man i cant wait to be out there with you fighting wildfire with you and with the hotshots
It hypes me up every time I see your videos. I have a question though. I've been doing structure firefighting for 2 years but want to try new things and one is to become part of a hotshot crew. Do you have any information on how to get on a crew or any pointers? Awesome videos Mario!!!
Hi Tony
Thanks for viewing our crew video or videos, it always makes us happy here that the public or our brothers or sisters (firefighters) enjoy watching and have positive feedback. Thanks for the question and to share with you since you have been doing structure & I'm sure your department may have introduced you to the training G-130 it's similar to our suppression 130/190 courses but it refers to structure dealing with wildland due to most folks in the wildland urban interface. As of now hotshot crews are available nationwide and being dispatched to wildfires, if you wanna try something new start off with an wildland fire academy to get the basic training out of the way, find which hotshot crew you are wanting to join, make contact with the crew let them know your their to work and help as best as you can to benefit the crew with your experience, all hotshots crews and wildland firefighting agencies start taking applications early as November on usajobs, try to enter an application early as possible and get a physical screening done ASAP those can linger for a good while, stay in shape or continue working out, wildland is very strenuous and can take its toll on any physically fit individual, make sure you are ready to adapt to a changing environment, keep pushing forward even with the crew you want to join, be a team player and learn from your supervisors, keep safety in mind I'm sure your ready for change and you seem eager to do this job, ofcourse we will see you out on the fire line sooner or later. Takecare Tony, thanks for the input and thanks for your service to the public as a Structure Firefighter. Thanks again. M.Dia
What is the next step in the process in getting a call or email back I have been applying for a while since I turned 18 I'm 25 now I have 9 years as volunteer firefighter I have my s130/s190 I am a certified basic wildland firefighter
Look at ellipse global
You guys have some nice fire rigs! They look allot like ours haha
Hello Damion
Thanks for the comment on our rigs, if you don't mind me asking which crew are you with?
tried my first mre get used to it in this job
Morning Joshua
Sorry for the late response, that's good to hear bro MREs are legit to eat especially the beef stew haha I'm sure you will be eating plenty of those this summer. Enjoy the meals bro those will help you when your burnt out on the fire line. Take care and thanks for the posting a comment and thanks for watching our crew video. M.DIA
+Geronimo Hotshots hey man i dont mean to sound rude or anything but i dip tobbaco will i have to stop that to be a hotshot
Hi Joshua,
No bud that's not a rude question and no you don't have to stop chewing tobacco, just abide by the rules of the hotshot crew that you are planning on joining, every crew has a different set of rules so just respect the boundaries and limitations of the crew. We're not encouraging you to chew tobacco bud so please don't take it that way and feel free to ask questions anytime were always here for you and everybody else. Take care friend talk to you soon. M.Dia
Yeah i get you thank you so much for the tip i go to training in a month
Hi Joshua,
Your welcome bud and that's good news your doing training, make sure you ask a lot of questions to the instructors it's always best to pick their minds to learn what they experience during their career, take care bud. M.Dia
Hi Geronimo Hotshots,
This is just a general question but I was wondering what you would recommend to someone completely new to wildland firefighting with no previous experience at all when trying to apply for a job like this. Are there places that offer training when you start or do you have to have studied/got qualifications to be hired?
Many thanks!
Tired of the city guy from London, UK
Oh and great video, very inspiring!! Hope you're all having a safe season this year!
Hi _wolfrace
Thanks for the question and sorry for the late response were out here in Wyoming staying busy fighting wildfires but back to the question, so you wanna come out and battle wildfires well this is the place to do it with a type2, type 2 IA or a type 1 hotshot crew all you gotta do is look for a local wildland fire academy, check with the local forest service or look on the Internet for a course near by that teaches the courses listed below, These places offer the basic training that are required to become a wildland fire fighter these trainings include but not limited to are,
S-130: Firefighter Training
S-190: Introduction to Wildland Fire Behavior
I-100: Introduction to the Incident Command System
L-180: Human Factors in the Wildland Fire Service
NIMS 700,
Sounds like a lot of training but these trainings are required and can help you become a wildland firefighter, once you do the required training you should be set to find a crew that you want to join on USAJOBS they usually start with applications in September through March, or you can contact the crew direct and to be honest that's what most crews want is to find out is who is applying in person so give a few calls do the training and you should be set, hopefully we will see you on the fire line. Thanks for the nice compliment on our video we are glad you enjoyed it. Take care friend if you have any other questions feel free to ask we will do the best we can to help you meet the goals you are seeking in the near future. See you soon friend, M.Dia
Hi M. Dia, thank you so much for the detailed response, I really appreciate it. That's great advice, I'll look into how I can take part in courses like those as a UK citizen. I'm really really eager to get out into the wild and make a difference. That sound crazy what you're doing in Wyoming, like I said hope you all come home safe and sound, all the best to your brothers out there! Take care, Matthew

Hello Mario, Your videos are excellent! Thank you for sharing the videos. I would like to speak with you and see if it is possible to get permission to use your videos on our website for our Wildland Fire Science Degree Program. Can you please email me at ruidoso-onlineservices@enmu.edu?
Hi email sent your way thanks. M.Dia
Why dont you guys use demolition to knockout trees?
Morning Professor
That's a great question, We are not authorized to use explosives. The use of explosives to take hazard trees down would raise safety concerns to a majority of the crew and adjoining forces on a uncontrolled fire edge. We are unsure of the pros and cons for using the explosives on the fireline or in a environment free of wildfires where it can be utilized in training. The Wildland Fire Crews are specially trained to cut trees down in different diameters for which they are qualified for which FAL1 would be the most advanced, these training give us the advantage to control the trees felling direction rather than using explosives where we would have no control and ad more fuel loading to the surface fire. The use of explosives by any fire crew would be a great risk. Safety is our top Priority, Hopefully this answered your question, Thanks again for the comment and viewing our video. Take care. M.Dia
Thx
Professor thanks and enjoy your night. M.Dia
