American History

Very good tribute to those that died.
We taught forest Management and Wildlife science a full semester of Wild Land firefighting. Required for
the degree. Beginning certifications, C130, 190 and pack test. Many many went on to be Hot Shot members with USFS. We taught a lot of history I. The semester, most all the tragedies and loss of life. I know these stories all too well. I cry at the end of the documentaries we showed them and the credits and tributes to those we lost. I have read Young Men and Fire multiple times. Required text for the class. Granite Mtn was a tough one.
We lost one of our best Hot Shot members in the Storm King Mountain fire.
A high percentage of our students came to get the degree to be firefighters in State and Federal agencies all over the nation. They were so passionate about their life’s choice.
One loss is hard to take. It is so hard on all the team members and commanders to face that lose from a team.
Thank you for bringing Mann Gulch to everyone to think about.
Hero’s all.
These firefighters are being shit on by this admin. A sickening way to treat those that run into the fires to save homes, people and the forest. Facing some of the most horrific circumstances in the history of our forests.
Never forget what they sacrifice. Men and women side by side, all races as brothers and sister.
