Yep. 19 of the "Hot Shots". So they didn't have any water or tanker trucks. They were out there trying to build a fire line to prevent it from spreading further towards the population. They had to dig in and cover themselves in their foil-like wrap (not sure what it's called) and hope that the fire passes over...
It didn't.
One of the worst jobs and most physically demanding too. They have to hike up through the mountain/hills/dried brush.
