Gregg Boydston is one of the U.S. Forest Service’s “Hotshots,” a crew of fire fighters working to contain and extinguish forest fires. Boydston doesn’t just battle the intense flames. He also takes incredible pictures of what the Hotshots are up against and the aftermath of their fights against forest fires. The images are amazing and are hopefully the closest you’ll ever come to these fires. You have to see the blazes they go up against to believe them. They’re that crazy. Take a look.
