Wildland Firefighter


What does it take to stop a raging wildfire? Brian Burnside of Miller Timber Services in Philomath, Ore. explains what it takes to be on a fire fighting crew. You need to be a strong individual, but you also need to be backed up by a strong team and a strong organization. It's tough work. It's dangerous work. But it's exciting work as well.
