The Pacific Northwest Interagency Hotshot Crews form a proud group of members that are represented by all twelve of the IHC's in Washington and Oregon. This group is continuously working to sustain and strengthen the high standards expected of a learning organization like a hotshot crew. The PNWIHCs function under common standards set forth by the National Interagency Hotshot Crew Operations Guide. Strong leadership, adaptability, and a versatility of skills are just a few of the traits we share with other hotshot programs across the nation.

The Interagency Hotshot Crews meet twice a year to discuss topics of interest or concern to the region and the nation. The primary intent behind the efforts of the group is to better our organization through problem-solving at a group level. This group has also formed a respected voice in Fire Management within the region and regularly provides feedback and tangible solutions to any number of issues.

This website provides an arena where information and documents can be shared within the IHC organization as well as between the PNWIHCs and other functional groups. Additionally, links are provided for the benefit of others who maintain an interest in our group or the IHC program in general.
