What was one thing you learned, or one thing you thought was interesting from wild land firefighter training?
"The patterns that exist in most failures by firefighter teams that caused fatalities. It was eerie to hear the stories." ~Clay
"Everything was interesting. Stoked about getting on the mountain, proving myself to Russ, and beginning my career as a wild land firefighter, reaching ever closer to my goal of becoming a smoke jumper." ~Josh
"I was very curious about, and to learn the specific techniques which wild land fire fighters use to contain and extinguish fires." ~Brendan
"I learned that this experience will likely be the most mentally/physically thing I;ve done in my life. I'm taking this experience a lot more seriously and I'll be relying on myself and the team for support. I think I'll gain perseverance and patience." ~Ayla
"I enjoyed the tools/engine/firing devices training quite a bit. The different sections covering line work have also been interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to our first day in the mountains." ~Alex
"I learned about the various safety procedures that will keep our team safe." ~Benn
"I really enjoyed learned about the different tasks our team will get to do, and the different skills we will develop. As I'm learning about cold trailing, and patrolling for spot fires I can see myself doing this, and it just seems like such a different experience and I'm so excited to do it." ~Katie
