5th Annual Mike Schweitzer Memorial Challenge

Join us for the 5th Annual Mike Schweitzer Memorial Challenge on April 27th at 9am in Etna, CA. Mike was a member of our crew in 2002 and is greatly missed. All proceeds from the run go directly to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation whose mission is to help families of fallen firefighters and assist injured firefighters and their families in times of need.

The event consists of a 5K walk/run, 10K run and Half Marathon with a mixture of road and trails. For more information on the event and to download an entry form, click HERE.

If you're not able to make it to the run but would still like to help out the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, please visit their website for other events and ways to donate.

See you there!

We'd like to congratulate Graham Baker on becoming the newest Senior Firefighter on Klamath Hotshots!

Graham has been an apprentice out of Oak Knoll for the past few years and got his beginning on this crew by filling in on fire assignments. Last year he was an apprentice crewmember and completed the apprenticeship program. He has now converted to our crew as a Senior Firefighter.
