I guess it's different out there, but are the local, street-level firemen actually going out in the bush and fighting these forest fires?

When I was AZ, the guys on the firelines in the mountains were 100% wilderness firemen, they had completely different training, skill sets, and tools. I wouldn't expect, nor would I want, an urban fireman doing wilderness suppression, or vise versa.
