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.
