CAL FIRE firefighters serve in a variety of roles, including firefighters assigned to engines and hand crews.
🚒Engine firefighters provide all-risk emergency response (structure fires, medical aid, hazmat), in addition to responding to wildfires. CAL FIRE engines are staffed with three or four firefighters.
🔨Hand crew firefighters are primarily used during wildfires to cut fireline — clearing vegetation down to bare dirt to help slow or stop a fire’s advance. When not assigned to active wildfires, hand crews also support fuels reduction work by thinning overgrown vegetation in targeted areas.

Does anyone know what to do with old firefighting antiques? I'm trying to ensure they go to a good home.
All sorts of different things. Gone with the old and in with the new stuff.
