Crew Map — US wildland fire crews

Find crews

Every crew we know about, on one map. Filter by state, agency, crew type or Forest Service region. Click a pin and you get the crew's details, its website where there is one, and any open jobs nearby.

See what's open

Open federal fire jobs pulled from USAJOBS, refreshed every day. They show as their own markers on the map, one per town, and you can narrow them by pay grade, salary, or whether the job is permanent or temporary.

Submit a crew

There are gaps — plenty of crews aren't on here yet. If you know one that's missing, add it. Someone reads every submission before it goes on the map.

About this map

This is a personal project, not an official one. It isn't affiliated with the US Forest Service, the Department of the Interior, or any federal agency, and nothing on it is an official record.

Where the data comes from

Public Forest Service crew listings.

A community-maintained handcrew atlas, used with permission.

Open federal job postings from USAJOBS, refreshed daily.

What it gets wrong

Pins sit in the middle of town, not at the actual station. That can be a few miles out.

Plenty of crews have no name recorded. Where that happens the map shows the base it works from and says so, rather than inventing one.

Housing is unknown for a couple of hundred crews. Blank means we don't know, not “no”.

Coverage is thinnest outside the western regions. That's a gap in what we could source, not a decision about what counts.

Job postings show the duty station USAJOBS lists, which isn't always where the work happens, and they aren't tied to any particular crew.

Something wrong?

Open the crew on the map and use the link in its details. Someone reads every one of these by hand.
