51. Regular firefighting is one thing

Mon Jul 1, 2013, 09:40 AM

Jul 2013

Hotshot firefighting is another. Regular firefighting is dangerous enough, but there always is a road out to drive away from a blaze that goes out of control.

Hotshots don't have that. They honestly value the lives of others above their own.

The 19 need not fear Hell...they did their time in flame.
