A wildland firefighter is a trained professional who specializes in suppressing and managing wildfires in forests, grasslands, and other natural environments. These firefighters work in rugged terrain and harsh conditions to prevent fires from spreading, protect property and natural resources, and minimize the impact of wildfires on local communities. Wildland firefighters use a variety of tools and techniques, including hand tools, engines, helicopters, and air tankers, to combat fires and manage the surrounding environment. This line of work requires physical fitness, technical skill, and a commitment to public safety and environmental stewardship. On the show today we have Ronni Ocampo, who's going to share her experience on wildland firefighting first hand.
