Several wildland fire modules are stationed across the U.S. to provide national self-sufficient, multi-skilled fire professionals to assist with fire use operations and planning. This includes planning, fire behavior monitoring, ignition, and holding responsibilities. Wildland fire modules also assist with prescribed fire, fire effects, and mechanical hazard fuels reduction projects.
The Black Hills wildland fire module is based at Jewel Cave National Monument near Custer, South Dakota. It is a seven person crew that assists with projects throughout the U.S. with an emphasis on projects in the Northern Great Plains.
