As firefighters all over the Bay Area prepare for what's expected to be another rough year, firefighters in the North Bay gave an inside look at what they will be going through in the months to come.
On Wednesday a"Fire Ops 101" event was held in Santa Rosa, which gave a firsthand look at being a firefighter. Community leaders took part, along with KPIX 5 reporter Andrea Nakano.
Jack Thomas, president of the Professional Firefighters of Sonoma County, said,"I never knew how heavy the gear was. I think that is the number one thing that everybody says to us." "At the end of the day, I just want them to get out. I want them to get home, I want them to get to their families," Smith said.
What may have been the most interesting was to understand how technology is now helping firefighters do their jobs. A sim table gathers data from several different sources to predict the path of a wildfire.
