    A group of approximately 12-15 individuals wearing matching dark green/black uniforms with visible chest patches march in a loose formation across an open grassy field at dusk. Behind them is a large base camp with numerous tents, emergency vehicles, and equipment spread across the valley floor. The dramatic sunset sky with pink and purple clouds, combined with what appears to be smoke on the horizon near the mountains, suggests this is a wildfire incident command base camp.
