1 CP Maria de Los Angeles Vargas was kind enough to talk with us February 2, 2017 while she and her crew were assigned to a fire south of Matanzas, Chile that had burned about 19,000 hectares (46,950 acres).
Interview with a firefighter on a wildfire near Matanzas, Chile
Do you know, is she a wildland firefighter or structural (or both)?
Thanks!
I think, wildland. But I’m not sure. Check out cspen’s comment on another article.
She says with pride, satisfaction and confidence: “I am Maria, I am a Fire Woman”. What’s not to like about that !
Okay, that comment was for the Commander interview….
Good HD video equipment! Next question to ask: Do you have a Fire Information Officer assigned to the incident and who is compiling the incident data (facts)?
