As the fire grew, those responsible for battling it requested more resources. That order was passed to the U.S. Forest Service regional headquarters in Milwaukee. Some assets were available in the region and will be responding. The Smokey Bear Hotshots out of the Lincoln National Forest in New Mexico are expected to arrive on Saturday. Hotshot crews are the firefighting equivalent of military special forces. “A Hotshot crew is 20 firefighters who work in the hottest part of the fire,” Allegheny National Forest Fire Public Information Officer Wendy Andersen said. “They are staffed, conditioned, equipped, and qualified to meet a variety of strategic and tactical wildland fire assignments.”
