| Description |
The #mypubliclandsroadtrip heads to the Southeastern States District Office in Jackson, Mississippi - home to the only BLM Hotshot Crew east of the Mississippi River. Since being formed in 1997, the Jackson Hotshots have fought disastrous wildland fires from Alaska to Florida. In addition, they have been called upon to assist with numerous National emergencies, including Ground Zero after 9/11/01 and search and recovery operations from the Space Shuttle Columbia. The Hotshots were also available for recovery efforts following several devastating hurricanes, including Katrina, Rita and Sandy. The Jackson Hotshots, including their operation and outreach, is supported by the Historically Black Colleges and Universities as well as the International Association of Black Professional Firefighters Foundation. The IABPFF entered into an agreement with the BLM in 1996 to expand opportunities in the wildland firefighting community for African-Americans.
