Firefighters across the Camp Creek Fire area are taking on the challenge of developing containment line within the densely-forested Bull Run Watershed. In this video, we catch up with a crew of type 1 “hotshot” firefighters doing their part to help create new fireline and stop future progress of the fire.

Wondering what a hotshot crew is? Interagency hotshot crews (IHCs), commonly called hotshots or hotshot crews, are highly trained, specialized teams that perform some of the most demanding and hazardous tasks in wildland firefighting. Their jobs require a high level of physical fitness and extensive training in fire behavior, safety protocols and first aid.
