Meanwhile, as all this is going on, teams of firefighters known as holding crews have the job of making sure the fire line holds, which means putting out fires that suddenly erupt on the wrong side of the control line, ignited by flying sparks, pine cones, and embers.

The act of using fire to fight fire can be incredibly important to firefighters, since having access to a place where the fuel has already been burned away is a key to staying safe near fast-moving flames. In fact, if you were listening to radio transmissions on any of several hundred fires in the West, you’d hear hotshots and hand crews informing the communications center that they have “one foot in the black,” meaning they’re in a place where they can easily seek safety.
