🔥 HAPPY THANKSGIVING from CTFB 🔥

Today’s about more than turkey, football, and full plates
it’s about gratitude. And in the wildfire community, we’ve got a lot to be thankful for.
To the crews on the line
Hotshots, engines, helitack, dozers, air attack, volunteers, teams, tenders , Jumpers
thank you for the long shifts, the missed holidays, the grit, and the heart. While the world sits around the table, many of you are still on standby, still training, still ready. We see you. We appreciate you.

🚁 To the pilots in the sky
Thank you for the precision, the bravery, and the countless saves no one ever hears about.

🏠 To the families at home
The ones holding it down, worrying, waiting, and supporting your strength keeps this community moving.

🔥 To the survivors, the communities rebuilding, and the neighbors helping neighbors
Your resilience is what makes wildfire country more than a place it’s a family.

And to everyone who follows, supports, shares, and believes in this mission—
CTFB is thankful for YOU.
This community isn’t built by one person. It’s built by thousands who care.
