Source: U.S. Forest Service office locations. We last checked it on October 12, 2026. Some phones come from the forest's own website. "Not listed" means the Forest Service does not publish it.
A ranger district is one part of the forest, run from its own office. A dispatch center takes fire reports and sends crews. A tanker base is where firefighting planes load.
A hotshot crew is a 20-person crew sent to the hardest parts of big fires. From the Forest Service list of hotshot crews.
20 fires started inside the forest boundary since July 18, 2026, when our fire records begin. Together they cover 33 acres. An acre is about the size of a football field. These are the 10 biggest.
We only count fires that started inside the forest. A fire that started outside and burned in is not counted.
Have questions?
Book a 30-minute call with Graham. He got a Forest Service fire job in Montana with zero experience and worked the summer of 2026. Ask anything: the application, the pack test, what the money really looks like, what to pack. Parents welcome.
“Talking with Graham was super helpful, he explained the hiring process and how to successfully reach out to fire crews. He is very knowledgeable on the different paths to becoming a Wildland firefighter and answered all my questions.”
