"On June 26, 2011, a wildfire blazed through the Santa Fe National Forest in New Mexico, lighting up the tall trees with bright orange flames. As the wind whipped the fire, it burned 60 acres (24 hectares) every minute. The giant wildfire was much too large for firefighters to extinguish with fire trucks and water hoses. This was a job for hotshots! Look inside to find out how these courageous firefighters use their quick thinking and expert skills to battle deadly wildfires. You'll also go behind the scenes to learn how hotshots train for their jobs so that they are ready to spring into action at a moment's notice"--Back cover.
