Ken Nolan and Eric Warren Singer were tasked with adapting Sean Flynn‘s GQ article entitled “No Exit.” Their journey starts with fire superintendent Eric Marsh ( Josh Brolin), who could have stopped the decimation of a town had he been given the certification he deserved, and ends with the fateful blaze that brought his men’s names into our public consciousness. Their's is a tragic tale of heroism in America, one worthy of cinematic immortalization to ensure we never forget their accomplishments. They persevered against all odds to earn a place among peers who never gave them credence. What makes the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots so singular in the history of these organizations is the fact that this group was the first municipal team to be certified. You call them to get the big jobs done and as such are formed for that specific purpose on a federal level. They’re to firefighters what Navy SEALs are to the military. Originated in the 1940s to combat wildfires on a national level, these groups move all over the country to suppress flames and save cities in need. Interagency Hotshot Crews are twenty-person teams of Type 1 firefighters that exceed all experience, training, and fitness requirements of that designation. “Decide what you live for and what you can live without”
