The Backbone Fire Crews

Wild Land Fire Fighting is a Team Effort. Successful containment and control of a wild land fire often requires hundreds of people working together under Incident Command toward common goals and objectives.

Throughout The Backbone Fire's progression, we will attempt to mention as many of the crews that are assigned as we can find information regarding them.

The first crew we learned was assigned to The Backbone Fire is the Del Rosa Hot Shots.  They were formed in 1946 amid some of the earliest days of Hot Shot crews.  You can read their history and see crew photos dating back 60+ years here:
