Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT provide turnkey incident base camps?
Turnkey Incident Base Camps
Yes.
KDT provides turnkey incident base camps: we plan the layout, deliver and build the sleeping, dining, sanitation, power, lighting and comms pieces, run the camp for the length of the incident, and tear it down at demob.
Typical configuration
- Size
- From a small spike camp to a large base camp, sized to headcount
- Sleeping
- Mobile sleeper units, tents or tent systems with cots and bedding
- Feeding
- Breakfast, shift provisions (sack lunch) and dinner, for camps of any size
- Sanitation
- Toilets, handwash, showers and laundry sized to headcount, serviced daily
- Power
- Towable diesel generators with spider-box distribution and light towers
A base camp is where responders sleep, eat, shower and get briefed between shifts. On a large wildfire that's the fire camp next to the ICP. After a hurricane it's the camp that houses linemen, debris crews and federal staff when every hotel for 100 miles is full or flooded. On a spill it's the worker camp near the shoreline. In every case it has to go up fast on bare ground and work like a small town from the first night.
KDT builds the whole thing or any piece of it. We lay out the site with the Facilities Unit, then bring in sleeping units or tents, cots and bedding, feeding, potable water, portable toilets, handwash stations, showers and laundry, gray water and trash service, generators, spider boxes and light towers, and Starlink and Wi-Fi. Then we staff it and keep it serviced every day.
KDT feeds and showers camps of any size, on every kind of incident, along with everything else the camp runs on.
Camps grow and shrink with the incident. We add sleeping capacity when crews arrive, move units when the incident moves, and demob cleanly, leaving the site the way the landowner expects it back. Our work aligns with NWCG fire camp practice and NIMS / FEMA base camp standards.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide turnkey incident base camps?
Yes. KDT plans, builds, staffs and services complete base camps for responders, including sleeping, feeding, sanitation, power, lighting and comms, and demobs them when the incident is over.
Can KDT supply the caterer and showers for a federal wildfire camp?
Yes. KDT feeds and showers camps of any size, and builds and runs the rest of the camp too.
Can you build part of a camp instead of the whole thing?
Yes. Many orders are a single piece, like sleeper units and power, or toilets and handwash. We fit into whatever your IMT already has on the ground.
Who runs the camp once it's built?
Either your team or ours. KDT can supply camp management and camp crews, working under your Facilities Unit Leader and Base/Camp Manager.
Do your camps follow NWCG or FEMA standards?
Our work aligns with NWCG fire camp practice for wildfire and NIMS / FEMA base camp standards for all-hazards incidents, and we follow the health and safety requirements of the local jurisdiction.
