I second that motion! They are amazing to watch. I was on a a fire where we laid a progressive hoselay 1000' on a sidehill due to the steep grade. The Ben Lomand (CalFire) camp crew came in and cut line right up the face of that hill. It had to be a 65-70 degree slope at least. They looked like a glow in the dark caterpillar coming up the hill (we were looking down from up above). The CDC officers definitely keep them on a short leash. No talking to us or anything. They eat last, and away from the municipal crews. They are very, very, very good at what they do.
