Firestorm Wildland Fire Suppression, Inc.

Firestorm Wildland Fire Suppression, Inc. is a pioneering forestry and emergency services corporation comprising fire and land management professionals. Founded by James Wills in 1995, the company initially secured a landmark memorandum of understanding for a single organized fire crew on the Lassen National Forest in Northern California. Notably, Firestorm was the first private organization to hold a fire crew contract with the United States Forest Service and National Park Service in California. To meet the service demands of federal agencies, Firestorm diversified its operations and established the Forestry Services Division. This division focused on carrying out thousands of acres of forestry health projects and prescribed burning, while also incorporating heavy equipment, mulchers, and chippers to execute thinning and fire hazard reduction projects. Over the years, Firestorm’s Emergency Services division has grown to provide multiple fire crews, wildland engines, and overhead personnel across the United States for fire and all-risk incidents, contributing hundreds of thousands of personnel hours annually. Furthermore, the company has expanded its portfolio by offering Fire Safety Consulting services to both large and small landowners, aimed at mitigating the threat of wildfires in the wildland urban interface. With its extensive expertise and innovative approach, Firestorm Wildland Fire Suppression, Inc. continues to play a pivotal role in the wildland fire suppression and emergency services sector.
