The Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center has released the 2018 edition of Hotshot Crew History in America. You can download the 296-page, 11 MB document here.
Special thanks go out to Dave Provencio who collected many of the updates and to Brit Rosso of the WFLLS and especially Juli Smith of the National Advanced Fire & Resource Institute for putting it together.
The document has a wealth of information, but the history is not totally complete for every crew. If you have any additions, contact Mr. Provencio: mso_1977 at me dot com
I put together this table of contents, to make it a little easier to find a crew. They are organized by Geographic Area.
Page Geographic Area
- 3 Alaska
- 6 Great Basin
- 30 North Ops
- 62 Northern Rockies
- 77 Northwest
- 101 Rocky Mountain
- 110 Southern
- 118 South Ops
- 174 Southwest
- 209 Historical Articles
The Eastern Area is not listed but Illinois-based Midewin can be found on page 22.
