Kewa Fire - Colville Reservation

The Kewa Fire was near Incelium, WA on the Colville Reservation. Our Crew met at the engine and then rode up to take the ferry across to the Incelium Community Center where the fire camp was located.

Canyon Fire helped the Colville Tribe and the National Park Service to suppress the fire and to keep the affected communities informed. This was our first incident on the reservation.

The management team said that the Canyon Fire crew went "above and beyond the daily objectives and always stayed safe in every aspect." It is our goal to always exceed expectations.

This was a remote and interesting assignment. The crew stopped at a waterfront resort on the way home to clean up. It was great to have a strong shower and spirits were hight when they returned to Spokane.

Stay Safe,
