CDF / Cal-Fire battle hundreds of wildland fires following a record breaking number on lightning strikes in one day. Inset graphic is the Automated Lightning Detection system illustrating the 3,200 strikes on Saturday 21 June, 2008.
The terrain is very steep and rugged in many of the fire zones, conditions that greatly increase the risk to the fire fighters. Fighting alongside the CDF/Cal-fire crews are volunteer state inmates, a specialized and highly trained team that gets less than their fair share of recognition.(pictured)
The air attacks included smoke jumpers and rappel teams that can get into the remote areas. These elite fire fighting crews are rarely seen in action do to the very remote areas they are dropped.
