The newly-formed U.S. HOTSHOTS ASSOCIATION is an organization with a specific mission: to support, promote, protect, and preserve all Hotshot Crews and Hotshot Crewmembers — current, former, and future. Dedicated to preserving the rich history of the U.S. Hotshot program, committed to mentorship, and intended to support of special and dire needs, the USHA has also formed with an intent to directly influence innovation and advancement across the major quarters of Wildland Fire culture, policy, and operations: Safety, Leadership, Suppression, and Management. Originally conceptualized by a group of former Superintendents with deep roots in making the Interagency Hotshot Crew program what it is today, the U.S. HOTSHOTS ASSOCIATION is open for membership: current and former Hotshots, Fire Managers (both former Hotshots and otherwise), Friends and Family, Media, inquisitive laypersons — in short, any group or individual interested in learning, promoting, and supporting Hotshots through the stated mission of the USHA and its elected Board Members. All are welcome! WE’RE GLAD YOU FOUND US. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY. "20 Out, 20 back"
