I have been remiss in not mentioning the Midewin Interagency Hotshot Crew before now. The Midewin Hotshots are an Interagency Hotshot Crew are the only Hotshot Crew in the eastern region. They are hosted by the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington, Illinois. Here is their 2016 crew video highlighting their 2016 fire season. I have a special fondness for this hotshot crew because they are from the eastern region. There are some nice shots of tankers and helos in the video. Enjoy!
Glad you are safe, enjoy your off season. Thanks for all you do to keep us safe.

I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
