I did wildfire for a decade as a member of type 1, 2 and 3 incident management teams. Hispanic line crews are very...very...common in Washington. If those people go to ground and stop showing up at incidents we are in a lot of trouble. We could not fight wildfires in the PNW without Hispanic line crews. That's not an opinion but a fact.
