Well shit, I’m going to be a driver this season. Any advice for a newbie? I consider myself a good/safe driver with experience on mountain roads/off roading.
Thank you for all the information that your giving, I’m currently in an explorer program for wildland firefighting and it’s been awesome it’s hard but it’s fun.
Trees and widow makers can humble any Wildland FF real quick but yet it seems to be an every year thing we loose someone to.
Widowmakers are one of the biggest threats I've faced. And rattlers of course. We encountered four this last season.

That was the most incredible heroic rescue I’ve ever heard of.
I am unfamiliar, I'll have to look into it!
How common is this ?
people die every few summers from at least one of them. Like @greenfire6924 said, widow makers are another big one.
