Comments: Brit, my heart goes out to Dan's Family and the Arrowhead Hotshots. Dan was a true and honorable student of a proud profession. His contributions were many and he will be deeply missed. Fortunately, his positive influence and skills have been passed on to many and his legacy will speak to that. Please pass on my condolences to Dan's Family. As true professionals, I have no doubt you and your crew will find strength within each other and the entire hotshot community to pull through these difficult times. I have the utmost respect for you and your crew. See you on the mountain my friend!

Purpose: Reunion Update
Comments: Many people have written about how their time on the hotshots is remembered as one of the most memorable times of their lives. I, and the other members of the 2004 Texas Canyon Hotshots could not agree more. That's why we want to share our 50 year reunion with anyone who has ever felt a connection to the hotshot community. We are fully aware of the sacrifices our loved ones endured while we were gone on fire assignments. That being said, we hope that the people attending the reunion bring their loved ones to give them a snap shot of where we've been; what we've done; and how we've done it. Anyone is invited to participate in this event, if you feel compelled to do so, please contact the station to receive all the pertinent information. As we continue to progress towards our goals as individuals, let us remember the times we shared as crewmembers and fellow hotshots and bring into our world the people who sacrificed while we did what we did.

Comments: I was an El Cariso Hot Shot back in 1968 and have many fond memories and stories. Its interesting to see how many things have changed such as the enclosed buggies they ride around in now versus the open trucks we had. Also, instead of working 3 hooks up front they now utilize power saws. Some guys just have it made! Every one of those men have my respect as it was the most difficult job I ever did - no doubt!!

Comments: First day with the USFS was in October, 1973 as an AD for severity on the Coconino. First summer seasonal job started in 1974 on the Kaibab. Retired in 1999 on the Inyo. Didn't realize how many IHC's were formed after I started! Keep up the good work under the National Fire Plan and keep that prescribed burning going. I would love to see the total go to 5 million in one year!
