A good friend is the producer/director of an upcoming documentary about wildland firefighters, "Hotshots." Like many such projects it is a labor of love and they are seeking support to finish the project.

Outdoor workers need more protections from Valley fever Valley fever is recognized as a work-related disease in California, but not in Arizona or other states where it is also now widespread.

In a new study, researchers from #UCBerkeley #PublicHealth and U. of Michigan found that outdoor workers face high risks from #ValleyFever— and need stronger protections on the job. bit.ly/4gAh5wk

The Roosevelt Arch at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, Montana, with the hills and mountains behind obscured by the smoke of wildfires far away.

Forest fires in Wyoming, Idaho, and the brimstone fire west of Yellowstone Lake have much of Yellowstone country, including the northern gate, shrouded and fog this evening.
Think good thoughts for the #wildlandfirefighters , and think rain!

Wildfire veterans furious at DHS claim that raided crews were not firefighters • Stateline Wildland fire veterans are seething at a claim made by federal officials that two crews raided by immigration agents at the scene of a wildfire in Washington state were “NOT firefighters.”

Of course they were #wildlandfirefighters - they're on a Type II crew & have red cards. It's no coincidence that they were sent to cut firewood that day so that DHS knew where to scoop them up - that was a shameful coordination by incident command stateline.org/2025/09/04/w...

This is for all federal #wildlandfirefighters and red carded employees, not just #forestservice ones @altnps.bsky.social @altusfs.altgov.info @altusda.altgov.info @altyellonatpark.org

4/11 The immigration raid on an active fire scene shocked veteran wildland firefighters. Several said they couldn't remember a similar episode ever happening.

The precedent terrifies those who understand the stakes.

Fire doesn't wait for paperwork to burn.

Smokejumpers who once parachuted into forest fires are now saving history The Siskiyou Smokejumper Base near Cave Junction offers free behind-the-scenes tours led by former wildfire fighters who share firsthand accounts.

And now, for something completely unselfish--becoming less common these days. Here's a museum dedicated to the early smoke jumpers in Oregon, story from Janet Eastman for the Oregonian. reader.theoregonian.com/smokejumpers... @janeteastman.bsky.social #wildlandfirefighters #wildfire

VWS crews taking in the view of Table Mountain from Blaauwberg Nature Reserve

Good to get to a prescribed burn in the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve with VWS crews. It was hot, tough, and the 21ha of critically endangered 40 yr + Swartland Shale Renosterveld was stubborn! But we'll be back next week for round six! #volunteers #wildlandfirefighters

How are you celebrating #piday? #wildlandfirefighters will be hoping they don't get a pay cut. Did you know their staying salary is $15/hr for a year (not an introductory 30 or 90 days)

#introduction we're part of the National Federation of Federal Employees and represent #forestservice employees including #wildlandfirefighters #wildlifebiologists #hydrologists #rangemanagers #gis and so many more lovely folks.

Wildland firefighters face a big pay cut if Congress doesn’t act − that’s taking a toll on a workforce already under stress Firefighters work long hours to protect communities, often in dangerous conditions and for low starting pay. Surveys show the impact that can have on their physical and mental health.

Now seems like a good time to remind people that #wildlandfirefighters are fighting for a living wage and at risk of losing $20k in pay if Congress doesn’t get their shit together. The federal fire agencies are already hemorrhaging personnel.
