About Us

 Big Bear started in 2001 as a Type-2 crew and progressed into a Type-1 crew by early 2002. In October of 2003, Big Bear was certified as a Regional Hotshot Crew set fourth by the Interagency Hotshot Operations Guide. 

Today Big Bear Hotshots carry on the same traditions of our fellow Hotshots across the nation and follow the core values of Duty, Respect and Integrity.
