NOTE: The Bear Paw Hotshots were disbanded in 2008.
The Bear Paw Fire Crew re-organized and re-structured the entire chain of command in the spring of 2007. The Bear Paw Fire Program is now under the direct authority of the Chippewa-Cree Natural Resources Forest Manager.
The re-structuring provides better control, monitoring and management of the Bear Paw Fire Program by the CCTNatural Resources Department, and also the ability to make the necessary changes and revisions to the program to meet compliance requirements of BIA-NIFC.
The newly-formed Bear Paw Hotshots received their entire funding from the Chippewa-Cree Business Committee to maintain and train the crew as required in the National Interagency Hotshot Standards Guide.
The Bear Paw crew was recognized as a Type I IHC in training status in 2004 and received full funding from the BIA NIFC office.
The ‘Bear Paw’ crew was named after the Bear Paw Mountains on the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation.
