In these short videos, The Smokey Generation asks Nick Glatt, Wolf Creek Interagency Hotshots, Dan Garcia, U.S. Forest Service FMO, and Dirk Charley, U.S. Forest Service Sierra/Sequoia Tribal Relations Program Manager, what makes the ideal hotshot. Check it out what they have to say.
FITNESS FOR COMMAND
(Leading in the Wildland Fire Service, pp. 61-62)
Our position as leaders requires us to take people into unpredictable situations where mediocre leaders can be quickly overwhelmed in a crisis and make dangerous errors in judgment.
We accept the responsibility to demonstrate fitness for command as leaders in the wildland fire service. Fire leaders prepare for command by learning the applicable technical and leadership skills, by gaining the requisite experience, and by developing the physical, mental, and emotional capabilities through training, certification, and evaluation of behavior.

What is your story? We challenge you to become a part of this amazing project and share your leadership stories. Bethany Hannah began The Smokey Generation: A Wildland Fire Oral History and Digital Storytelling Project for her master's thesis. All members of the wildland fire service, not just hotshots, can share their stories by following her example. Click here for potential leadership questions.
