The Midewin Interagency Hotshot Crew, based in the Midewin Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington, Illinois is the only hotshot crew in the eastern region. As a resident of the eastern region, I am honored by their work fighting wildfires. They are a national resource. The Midewin Hotshots have a nice Facebook page that may be found here.
I seemed to have missed posting their 2019 crew video, Included among the states where they fought wildfires in 2019 are Virginia, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Mexico, Alaska, and Michigan.

In 2020 they worked wildfires in Missouri, Midewin Tallgrass Praire (Illinois), Michigan, Arizona, New Mexican, Washington, and Oregon. A listing of their 2020 crew is listed at the end of the video.
