They Go In
"Fighting fire is just hard, boring work punctuated by sheer terror."
The protection of human life is the first priority for firefighters. In the northern portion of Idaho, the numerous state and national forests are monitored by the Knowlton Wildland Fire Team. The team consists of several components; hotshots, smokejumpers, and aerial firefighting pilots who work in conjunction with local paramedics and officials during fire season in order to prevent loss of life and property. These people go in when everyone else is rushing out.
Rules
- Effectively communicate with your fellow roleplayers. If there is an issue or if you're struggling to make a post, let us know and we will help you choke slam your writer's block and throw it out a 7th story window.
- Post length can vary given the situation and what you have to work with, but please try to get at least two solid paragraphs in per post. Proper grammar and spellings should be used. Make sure that you include content in your post that allows for others to build off of it. If it doesn't, then it might as well not exist in the first place.
- Activity is a must. Should you ghost on the roleplay, your character will be taken over as an NPC, and shall serve as whatever plot device I see fit. Whether they suffer an injury, get killed, or decide that that they no longer wish to be on the team, they will be removed from the roleplay and we will continue on without you.
- If you know you're gonna be unavailable for a period of time, let us know beforehand and try to find a way to temporarily disengage your character(s) from interaction before you disappear. That way your characters can come back later with minimal difficulty.
- There are physical tasks that your characters must be able to complete in order to be a smokejumper or hotshot. Please consider this when creating your characters.
- No perfect characters, your characters can get hurt if they do something stupid or outside the realm of human capability. Put 'Blaze It' in the Other section of your character sheet.
- The primary focus will be on the firefighting team during the fires. Your main characters will be on the team, your supporting characters will not be.
Roles on the Team
The story will revolve around our fire team; these are the main characters of this roleplay.
- Aerial firefighters fly aircraft to support ground resources in combating wildfires. They drop retardant and supplies as needed.
- Hotshots are highly specialized and experienced ground crew of about 20 firefighters that excel in making fire lines by hand. They are somewhat frequently deployed by helicopter to quickly arrive at the fire. They will always have lookouts responsible for watching the fire and ensuring their group's safety. They often travel large distances to provide support on multiple fires. There is a fully trained medic that gets sent out with them, and they all have basic first aide training. Their hotshot certification is tested annually.
- Smokejumpers are trained to parachute into remote areas in order to combat wildfires using hand tools. They have supplies dropped to them which allow them to stay self-sufficient on a fire for 48 hours. They operate in teams of about six and have to get recertified annually. They all have basic first aide training.
