Lori Light found the firefighters of Samoa’s Hotshot Crew 61 on the job in Trinity County, California. They’re singing Fa’afetai i le Atua (“Thanks to God”) to the tune Charles Crozat Converse composed for “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” The crew is battling the Helena-Fork Fire on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in northwest California. Crewmembers work for the National Park of American Samoa.
