To the best of my knowledge, the Midewin Hotshots are the only hotshot crew based in the eastern region of the United States. They are based out of the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington, Illinois. They have a nice Facebook page where they post including periodic posts during their season, Midewin Hotshots on Facebook. They released their 2022 season video which I am embedding below. Crew videos from past seasons may be found here. I checked out their Facebook page and saw that the Midewin Hotshots fought fires in the following regions in 2022: Eastern, Southern, Southwest, Great Basin, and Northern California, a map of the regions in the United States may be found at the Geographic Area Coordination Center National Website Portal.
According to the description of their 2022 season video, the Midewin Hotshots nine fourteen day assignments during 2022. Thanks Midewin Hotshots for all you do to keep us safe. Enjoy your off season.
