Week at Hemet-Ryan Air Attack Base | Following Tanker Pilots During Fire Season
In this behind-the-scenes episode, we take you to Riverside County, California, where we follow aerial firefighters at the Hemet-Ryan Air Attack Base, focusing on one of the tanker pilot trainees we're following for our real docuseries. Join us as we chase fires in southern California at the height of fire season, including Border 68, Bluff, and Pauba. If you’re new here, this is not the main attraction. This is the behind-the-scenes journey to make a proper docuseries about aerial firefighters. But, that will take quite a while, so we’re inviting you on the journey with us. While this episode may not have the high-stakes drama of the Park Fire or Boral Fire, it offers an authentic look at the many smaller fires aerial firefighters put out regularly during fire season. It's a testament to the skill of these firefighters that most fires never grow beyond these initial stages.
