Operational Coherence prides itself on having first-hand, boots-on-the-ground wildland firefighting experience, primarily with Hotshot Crews around the country from coast to coast, including Alaska, and a heavy concentration in California. These images are a brief window into the demands, complexities, and optics of wildland firefighting. Operational Coherence has the memory of its feet on the fireline, its hands in the research, and its head in the future.
