He was not exaggerating in the slightest.
After all, there were not many top-tier Firewood Collectors in Bonfire to begin with, and Wiserk and the others were among the very best.
If they had fallen during that exploration, it would undoubtedly have been a major loss for Bonfire.
Of course, Bonfire did have ways to bring the three of them back. But if they did that, they would have to make some difficult choices—
