MS MOD 1’s Remote Firefighting Triumph | Jackson News

MS MOD 1 from Mississippi just wrapped a grueling nine-day firefighting mission in Minnesota’s Superior National Forest, battling the massive Camp Fire that scorched over four thousand acres. Before even reaching the flames, they endured a punishing twelve-mile trek — nine miles by canoe and three miles of portaging gear through rugged wilderness — all while completely off-grid. Once on the fire line near Muskeg Creek, they deployed hoses, pumps, hand tools, and coordinated helicopter drops to tackle the blaze, successfully protecting key structures. They returned home safely on August 16th, hailed as heroes for their grit, endurance, and critical role in safeguarding both communities and wildlands against one of the most remote and demanding fires of the season.
