    A Washington Army National Guard Soldier takes a moment to wipe sweat from his face as he fights a wild fire near Northport, Wash., Aug. 5, 2018. Because of the location of the fire, hand crews like the ones filled by the WAARNG, often had to hike long distances in dense brush and steep slopes to reach their assigned clearing area.

    A wildland firefighter in standard protective gear works in a burned forest area, using a hand tool (appears to be a Pulaski or similar firefighting tool) to work the ground. The worker is holding or following a red guideline/rope strung between trees, likely marking a fire line or boundary. The surrounding forest floor shows evidence of recent burning with charred soil and debris.
    Two wildland firefighters in standard yellow Nomex fire-resistant shirts and green pants are working on the ground in a forested area, using hand tools to dig and scrape the soil. Smoke is visible near the ground, indicating active or recently smoldered fire activity. They appear to be constructing or reinforcing a fire line to prevent fire spread.
