I was a hot shot for a short time on the Angeles and an engine crew person. Bear divide hot shots also worked at valyermo mill creek and Monte Christo stations as an engine crew person. Great job
The best and most dangerous place to learn about being a wildland firefighter. Angeles National Forest. There we were taught to fight the fire on the ridgetop when we could. because of downslope winds That was a real gamechanger. Yes you become a "mountain goat " after a season with them.
@@emmanuelawosusi2365 Great question! Yes, ANF fire crews carry out structure protection too, including the defense of Mount Wilson (in cooperation with other fire agencies) during 2020's Bobcat Fire -Mark
@@Landmark717 there’s another one known as Paramedic Intern Withdrawal. When your intern completes their 20 shifts with you and your partner, you have to start writing your own prehospital patient reports again!
Yes Gerald, just search for Route Fire and you'll see these pretend firefighters saving "real firefighters", just a month after this video was taken. Clown.

Thank you for your service. Hotshots work hard!
you won't find an overweight member on any wildland crew.They are truly athletes.
I've ran that trail as a hotshot in 2012. There is a sign at the top that holds the record times to the top. Fires down there are crazy
Great stuff man, truly. Awesome insight, a great day-in-the-life, and beautiful shooting. Can't wait to watch more!
Thank you very much!

Great information I wasn’t aware of! Thank you very much for sharing that -Mark
Yup, Angeles and Cleveland are some of the crazier forests in the Region
Yea that’s true I’ve hiked some savage mountains out there
Excellent video! You've got some great production quality. I especially noticed the excellent timelaspes.
Thank you, Brian! I love doing the timelapses :) -Mark
Thanks for vid!
I was on Tujunga RD when Cal Yarborough & “Big Dick” were the fire staff from 1985-88.
Thanks for watching! That’s one hell of a nickname
Was it Dick McCombs?
@@rolandomota1192 “Big Dick” was AFMO (Car 5-2).

Can I wear NIcks tanker boots for wildland firefighting ? If they are strap boot with red x lug sole ?
No... 8 inches tall, leather and lace up
@@justinp8271 thanks
@@justinp8271 thanks for the great information
These are engine pups... not one single hotshot, 2 different things
Correct. Referred to them as an Engine Crew only
Why do they wear the backpacks so Low?
So they can bend over and swing tools with out the pack hurting their back.
O have photos and training g manuals love to meet up and discuss stuff .
Please get in touch with me! mark@landmark717.com
Slugs, hope you see the real groundpounders. The real firefighters
From what I’ve seen the engine guys in the Angeles are actually in pretty good shape

Lol groundpounders. Did 5 years with valyermo IHC on saw team. Some of these engine guys are way better than the guys I've worked with
