A day in the life of a Wildland Firefighter.

from Our Firesides · host Kelsey Mercer

With our world in a state of mass destruction and chaos, hear first hand what it's like to be on the line and in the mind of a Wildland Firefighter! Meet, Preston Mercer,  a wildland firefighter for almost 25 years, from his first job in high school as a hot shot, to repelling into fires from a helicopter when we met and now in full operations and management,   he has truly lived life in the fire from the inside out with a tenacious fireman's heart.   From being a hero for putting fires out, to being "hated" for lighting fires to manage (fire prevention), its all part of the job.  A job that requires facing the flames with more heart than the heat of the fire, more head than the hard hat you wear and more strength and resilience than any job with 2 feet on the ground. The joke in our home is no matter where Preston finds himself he is always putting fires out!  The passion behind this mans heart for leading fireman, managing the land and providing for his family is nothing short of LEGENDARY!  The world needs more Heros like these!
