Wildfire hotshots and handcrews exemplify the American spirit. They are self sufficient. They are expected to work hard. Long days are the norm. They often eat and sleep where they work, without luxury. They face danger daily and are the backbone of the "firefighting army" and earn great respect. They have mine. Thank you very much to all the firefighters working to stop the King Fire, El Dorado County, CA from burning my house down and saving our communities. Jac
