Crew History

The National Fire Plan provided funds to establish the Idaho City Hotshots. The first fire season for the crew was 2001with Russ Long as the superintendent. We spent 95 days on fire assignments, gaining experience and credibility. By October, our crew was certified as a Type I Interagency Hotshot Crew - the only crew to be certified in a single season! Eleven seasons later, our crew remains highly regarded.

 

Employment

Each season, the crew seeks individuals who like to work hard and want to enjoy the benefits of being a wildland firefighter.

 

Crew Configuration

The crew is split into two modules with one Superintendent assisted by 2 Captains.

There are also two Squad Leaders.

Thirteen seasonal firefighters and one Wildfire Apprenticeship Academy position complete the crew.

The barracks provide cooking and washing facilities as well as a private room for each employee. Other buildings include supply cache, exercise room, and a fully equipped saw shop.
