2024 Wildfire Season: Midewin Hotshots prescribed burns

The Midewin Hotshots began preparing for their 2024 wildfire season on Feb 12th, see the Midewin Hotshots Feb 12th Facebook post. I was just on their Facebook page a short time ago and saw that on or about February 25, they were on day six of their 2024 wildfire season conducting prescribed burns in the eastern region. Thanks to the Midewin Hotshots for doing prescribed burns which will help to reduce wildfire risks in those areas. I just now checked the Eastern Area Resource Summary (dated February 24, 2023) on the Eastern Area Coordination Center under predictive services-intelligence and saw that the Midewin Hotshots were deployed on February 19th to Indiana, so I assume that the Facebook Post that I embedded below is referring to prescribed burns in Indiana.

I wish the Midewin Hotshot crew the best as they continue with their 2024 wildfire season where they will be deployed in the eastern region of the United States and elsewhere to help with prescribed burns as well as bringing wildfires into containment. Stay safe.
