The video below features the Geronimo Hotshots, firefighters from the San Carlos Apache Reservation in southeastern Arizona. It was shot by crew member Samson Belvado in 2013, much of it with a helmet camera, and put together by the The Atlantic filmmaker Sam Price-Waldman.

A couple of those young men are second generation hotshots. Hostettler and Belvado. Their dads both worked on the Globe Hotshots when I was FMO there. My older son is a second generation wildland firefighter also , he was on the Flagstaff Hotshot crew for a few years, now is an engine captain on the Coronado N.F. Not as much of that happening now days.
