All it takes is one small brush fire to lead to a state of emergency during wildfire season, but one Kern County crew is getting prepared to help keep you and your family safe while making vulnerable communities more fire resilient. 23ABC followed the Fulton and Breckenridge Hotshot crews into the Sequoia National Forest to get an inside look at how they train yearly to get ahead. When Hotshots get a call they head straight to a blazing wildfire, "The Chimney fire it was just so intense and I mean flame lengths double the size of me right next to me," Former U.S. Coast Guard Hotshot crew member James Lazaro said.
