Today, we honor the members of the wildland firefighting community who protect our communities & natural resources from wildfires. THANK YOU firefighters, dispatchers, map creators, equipment operators, radio techs, PIOs & all who support wildland fire response.

@nicksortor Would love to watch this, most if not all of Colorado festivities have been canceled due to the fires and very low humidity.

[The Hotshot Wake Up @HotshotWake]

As thousands of wildland firefighters across the Nation come off the line this evening, eat a plate of food, and climb into their sleeping bag overlooking the fire they just burned 5,000 calories on, they know it will take more than a day to stop that thing.

From the bug filled Black Spruce swamps in Alaska, to the unforgiving timbered terrain of the Gila, the Sage brush fires in the Basin that go on for miles, across the deciduous fires out east, to the steeps of Colorado, into the tall trees of the Pacific Northwest, the WUI of California, and the sheep county in the Northern Rockies…. the work takes more than a day.

So, while today is National Wildland Firefighter Day, tomorrow is too. Because at 05:00, that very same sleeping bag the firefighter climbed into, will start to stir again. Boots tied tight, nicotine and caffine binge begins, and a hike back into the very same fire that provided a night light on the mountain top.

It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. And because it’s a marathon, you need to have people motivating and cheering for you for all 26 miles. Even when you vomit halfway through, or you’re bleeding from chaffing, those that watch from the bottom of the mountain are with you day by day. That’s how you make it to the finish line. Stay strong, stay savage, and stay together.

Happy National Wildland Firefighter Day.

@TonyLaneNV 2. Sporting goods. We would use the roll up door next to the truck and pull the driver up onto the dock.

@TonyLaneNV 1. Worked at a Walmart in the Colorado mountains. The tossed the grease from the deli in a metal trash bin. We got bears and delivery drivers at night. They wouldn’t change the cameras so we could see out back at night and we were not to grab bear spray from

@rawsalerts Well as a diabetic the zero sugar sodas do not affect my glucose. It’s nice not to have to drink coffee, tea, or water all the time. As for candy I keep a bag of hard candy in case my sugar crashes
