@BitterrootIHC

The Bitterroot Hotshots are a highly trained 20 person wildland fire crew hosted by the Bitterroot National Forest.

Gear turned in and washed, base deep cleaned, crew party planned. The 2017 Bitterroot Hotshots have closed the door on another season.


Last shift on the Meyers Fire 3.0. Taking the weekend off before we head into end-of-year chores begin.
