Australia thinks she's dinky-di 🫶⚡️🫶
I hope she gets recognized for her rescue, that was huge!
Something tells me she won't have any issues securing a job as a firefighter. Bravo Colleen!
At 18 years of age, she's amazing. Counting the previously cut logs of 67, and using that as guidepost to find their way back in the darkness and heavy accumulating smoke. Colleen Knull, thank you for your bravery and grit to help rescue these hikers to safety. Hats off to you.
She used horse manure to guide her too. What an amazing young woman.
Yes
Tracking skills, calm under pressure, and leadership abilities at 18. She has an amazing future ahead of her! Amazing work.
Wonderful young woman. Deserves the presidential medal if I’ve ever seen it!!!!!! Who’s with me??????
Um....this is Canada 🇨🇦. We have a Prime Minister. And a governor. And a king. 😊 No presidents.
@@SandraNelson063well how do you honor hometown hero’s then?

TH-cam channel. Guy points out in his recent video of a mp that was asking in parliament for help because of the dangers of the parks dead trees from a pine beatle infestation. Years ago
Future is bright with youth like this. This is what true leadership looks like. ❤❤
I hope she knows that she should be an example to her generation. Fantastic work, I wish her the best in her future as a fire fighter.
She's an example for every generation. Age is completely irrelevant.
In the general sense that's true. However, since we have a lot of kids of that age who are floundering, uncertain of what to do with their lives in the future, having someone like this to look up to isn't a bad thing for that age group. @@Kilmarro
@@hollybarker9057 In all honesty... The reason we have so many young adults floundering these days, is due to the inability of older seniors and boomers to lead by example!
This is someone everyone can look up to An 18 year old hero who is also a volunteer firefighter.
Colleen’s bravery and calm leadership saved lives. She’s awesome!
Amazing young lady. She gives me hope for our future.

Heard several other stories like this of parks personnel going on trails to get hikers out. So thankful that there was no loss of life.
Incredibly brave young women, these are the stories we need to see more often!
At 18? Such a grounded and aware young woman! Way to go Colleen, your future is going to be an unbelievable journey! 🤎🪶🪶🪶🪶🤎
Wow, I’m gobsmacked! Not only did she use her memory, skills, and knowledge, she Took Charge. And got everyone out and sent on to safety. There has to be an award with her name on it. If I’m ever in a dangerous situation, I pray that someone just like her is there to help! Simply an amazing young woman. Amazing.
So brave and focused. Hopefully you will get your dream job.
In among all the stories of loss and grief are stories like this. Skill. Leadership. Humanity.

I thought this story would be dumb but honestly she did a great job
Well done, young lady! Experienced, and wise beyond the years of most 18 YO "kids". She is eloquent, and thoughtful. Her parents raised her well, and must be proud. I have little doubt she will make as fine a firefighter, as she is a person. She has a bright future--no pun intended...
Congratulations to this brave and talented young woman!
