What is National Wildland Firefighter Day?
The dedicated staff who coordinate their efforts to protect the country's wildlands were honoured on July 2 by the United States' wildlands. It's also a day to remember the sacrifice made each time a firefighter steps into a wildland fire.

Wildfires burn millions of acres across the United States every year. Several different disaster situations have occurred in Washington, state, local, military, civilian, contract, international firefighters, and support staff. These remarkable individuals are the backbone of the wildland fire community. The men and women who work to save lives, property, education, and precious natural and cultural resources every year deserve a great deal for their professional skills and efforts.
Wildland firefighters are highly prepared emergency responders. They are an essential component of a coordinated effort by departments to respond to wildland fires and other natural disasters. They include crews on the ground, air support, smokejumpers, and incident response teams.
