Wildland firefighters are specially trained personnel who combat wildfires in forests, grasslands, and other natural areas. They work to control and extinguish fires, protecting both the environment and human communities. Their duties include creating firebreaks, conducting controlled burns, and using various tools and equipment to manage fire spread. These firefighters often work in challenging conditions, including extreme heat and rugged terrain. They may be part of federal agencies like the U.S. Forest Service or state fire departments. Teamwork and physical fitness are essential, as they often face unpredictable fire behavior and must respond quickly to changing situations.
