Wildfire
From the fireline to the fire camp.
A large wildfire is a small city that appears overnight in the worst possible place. It needs a team to run it, crews and equipment on the line, and a camp to feed, house, wash and power hundreds of firefighters, all of it miles from the nearest town.
KDT supplies the pieces wildfire incidents actually order, typed and named the way they order them: Base/Camp Managers, engines and water tenders, dozers, mobile sleeper units, light towers, or a privately contracted incident management team staffed to NWCG qualification standards.

The whole team, or the one position you're short.
Wildfire personnel are organized the way the National Wildfire Coordinating Group organizes them: Command, Operations, Planning, Logistics, Finance/Administration and Dispatch. Order a single position, a unit or a section, or the whole team.

Questions, answered.
What does KDT provide for wildfires?
NWCG-aligned personnel and a privately contracted incident management team, engines, water tenders, fallers and heavy equipment, plus fire camp resources: tent systems, mobile sleeper units, catering, toilets, handwash stations, water and gray water trucks, power, lighting, Starlink, fuel tenders, medical and security.
Can KDT build and run an entire fire camp?
Yes. KDT supplies the whole camp, any size, including feeding and showers. You can also order single pieces like light towers or mobile sleeper units.
Can I order a single NWCG position instead of a whole team?
Yes. Personnel are organized by the NWCG Position Catalog groupings, and you can order one position, several, a full section or KDT's complete private IMT.
