1st Annual National Wildland Firefighter Day

Today: July 2nd, 2022 - Is the first ever “National Wildland Firefighter Day”…

Let’s stop and think about why this is important…

It blows my mind that an army of you stood up 3 years ago, believed in a cause, and made a change to a broken system.

It may not be perfect in its current state, and there is a lot of work ahead of us… But, change DID happen.

It’s not just “lip service” being called a wildland firefighter, when you’re actually a “forestry technician”, or an opportunity for political grandstanding anymore…

Because: with the implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, you officially ARE a Wildland Firefighter now…

So - take it all in, and recognize your efforts in this long overdue need for reform… Because this would not have happened without you believing in @grassrootswildlandfirefighters @nffe_wildland_fire
