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.
@@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!
@@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
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.

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 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
What were the captains names if you remember?
The ride along curse.
I’m afraid so! 🙃

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).

Did anyone fire smart.? 2021 winter ham.?
Why do they wear the backpacks so Low?
So they can bend over and swing tools with out the pack hurting their back.
These are engine pups... not one single hotshot, 2 different things

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
