Keeping Fire On Our Side |

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has been using and managing fire safely and cost-effectively since the 1930's, leading to lands being in healthier ecological condition overall, with lower risk of catastrophic fire. This long-term, balanced approach to fire management benefits both people and wildlife. |

| The Blue Goose Wildland Fire Crew is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wildland fire crew established in 2007 in partnership with the Columbia Basin Job Corp Center in Moses Lake, Washington. The crew’s purpose is to be available for fire assignments around the country, and last year the 20-person crew saw plenty of action on several fires in Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Program Manager, Jason Riggins, is currently seeking fire personnel and students to work on the 2008 Blue Goose Crew.
