Zigzag Interagency Hotshot Crew
 

The Zigzag Interagency Hotshot Crew comprises 20 elite wildland firefighters. We pride ourselves on our strong work ethic, consistently rising to the occasion and going beyond the call of duty. We strive to perform in an efficient and independent manner while fighting fire, maintaining a high standard of excellence. Our work and our lifestyle are not appealing to many, nor is this job right for all applicants. Wildland firefighting requires strength and stamina and the ability to stay calm and aware when working in an extreme environment.

Our training and work schedules require a good deal of commitment - and demand a huge level of energy. We ask all members of our crew to contribute their cooperation and maintain an adaptable attitude throughout the entire season. After all, we believe it's cooperation and teamwork that put the fire out.
