Based in the Black Hills of South Dakota, the Bear Mountain and Black Hat Handcrews are type 2 initial attack handcrews. Both crews are available for out of state deployments to wildland fire incidents, When they are not assigned to wildland fires, they spend time on hazard fuel reductions on public and private lands in the Black Hills. To read more about these handcrews, see this page from South Dakota Wildland Fire
