Join us in this thrilling episode of CAL FIRE All Access as we witness the incredible work of Helitack crews on the Fire Hawk. Quite often, these crews are the first responders when it comes to taming the flame. They venture into the most challenging terrains, where traditional fire engines and ground resources can't reach, using hand tools and saws to create crucial firebreaks.
