John Bunker Sands Photography Gallery
Intense flames, dramatic skies, firefighters at work, aircraft dropping fire retardant,
ember trails, a “fire whirl” ascending. A new special exhibition at the Buffalo Bill Center
of the West shares dramatic images of wildland firefighting taken by a hotshot firefighter
in the thick of the action and the brave people who combat them. Photographed by
Wyoming Hotshot Captain Kyle Miller, Fire on the Mountain provides an intimate
encounter with the realities of a changing climate. A resident of Cody, Wyoming, Kyle
joined the Wyoming Interagency Hotshot crew in 2010. Hotshots are highly trained,
specialized wildland firefighters who use various ground tactics and hand tools to slow
and stop fires from spreading. The images in this exhibition highlight two primary
themes: Fire Ecology and the Human Element of Wildland Firefighting.
