Here we have Julius Hostetler, Superintendent for the Geronimo Hotshots. San Carlos AZ.
The San Carlos Apache Forestry Program will be honoring all Geronimo Hotshots from 1996-Present.
This will mark the 30-year legacy of the program.
It will take place October 7th. 2026.
These several weeks, I had the pleasure of meeting up with “Hoss", his fellow crew members, and past hotshots.
I taken some video footage and portraits that will be presented at this event. I am currently working on the project, but I wanted to share a small portion of my work.
What can I say, The time I was working on the fire line. Julius has always been a leader to follow, listen, and learn with. Memorable fire assignments, spectacular mountain views with streams, and of course good times with fellow hotshots.
I would like to mention the friends we lost along the way. We all played a role in the world of fire, to get the job done and come home. We wouldn't be a crew without them and their help. Rest easy bros!
