The engine strike team pictured here is just one example of the dedication, grit, and teamwork it takes to move the needle on fires of this scale. Long hours, tough conditions, and unwavering commitment to protecting lives, property, and Georgia’s forests. These are the people behind the progress. And we are incredibly grateful for them.
