Angeles N.F. firefighter Fernando Allende has been diagnosed with cancer, and a GoFundMe campaign has been set up to support his journey during this challenging time.

Hotshots are a type of wildland firefighter who are highly trained to combat wildfires in rugged terrain. They often work in remote areas, facing dangerous conditions to protect lives and property.
