While on a fire assignment, Twin Falls Helitack Supervisor Brandon “Skinny” Williams and Assistant Supervisor Taylor Clelland take a break to chat about what it is like being on a helitack crew. Brandon joins the conversation from the back of a helicopter in Utah while Taylor joins us on the road as a passenger in a vehicle heading to another fire assignment in New Mexico. As good friends before getting wildland fire jobs, Brandon and Taylor talk about what it is like working together, the team aspect of fire management, the relationships you build, the beautiful views you get flying to fires in a helicopter, and sharing those incredible experiences with the people you sweat and toil with.
