Watch: Hotshot crews walk into wildfires

Meet the hotshots, teams of firefighters that hike into wildfires and only fight flames with what they can carry. "An interagency hotshot crew consists of 18-22 specially trained firefighters that provide an organized, mobile, and skilled workforce for all phases of wildland fire management. Crew members complete many hours of training, adhere to high physical standards, and can take on the most difficult assignments," states the Bureau of Land Management.
