WATCH: Wyoming Hotshots Enter HELL!

Imagine what it's like to be a firefighter in the middle of one of Wyoming's biggest blazes.

Here is your chance to see it from the point of view of a Hotshot.

Just watch the video below.

HOTSHOT: Interagency Hotshot crews (IHCs), commonly called Hotshots or Hotshot crews, are highly trained, specialized wildland fire hand crews that perform some of the most demanding and hazardous tasks in wildland firefighting.

This video was shot by Kevin Dearden and posted on his YouTube page.

Watch as they light backfires and clear fuel.

He was battling the Elk Fire in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains.

Watch these guys step into hell.

Parts of this video will show you just how big the Elk Fire got.

It's hard to imagine it could ever be put out.

Kevin also shows the day-to-day life and the camaraderie of the men and women who give their all in this day-in and day-out war against a raging fire.

As the U.S. Forest Service explains:

Their primary mission is to provide a safe, professional, mobile, and highly skilled Type 1 handcrew status for all phases of fire management and incident operations.

On average Hotshots spend more days on the fire line performing fire suppression activities than any other ground-based firefighting resource.

They also perform and take the lead on a wide variety of tasks.

Training to be a Hotshot is a lot like boot camp.

Kevin shows this in another video he produced, which you can watch below.

Despite a good amount of snow and cold weather, the Elk Fire is not yet out.

That gives you an idea of how big it was.

An update from the U.S. Forest Service fighting the blaze in that area says.

The fire remains at 88% containment.

The uncontained sections along the southwest and northwest edges have not shown any signs of fire activity or smoke since the snowfall on October 30th.

The uncontained edges are in steep, inaccessible terrain with heavy fuels. Without the ability to get firefighters into the area to confirm that the edge is cold.

Operations leaders are being conservative in their approach to evaluating containment.

There still remains a potential that the fire could become active again if additional snowfall does not arrive.
