The
Diamond Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew was formed in 1992 by the Bureau
of Land Management to meet the increasing needs for agency fire
resources. Located in Susanville, Ca. the crew is hosted by the
NorCal BLM. In 1993 Kurt LaRue was hired as Superintendent, coming
to the crew from the Stanislaus Hotshots. Kurt was instrumental in
building the Diamond Mountain Hotshot program. The backbone of this
program was and is a mountain used for physical training referred to as
“Mo”. Kurt moved on to Fire Management Position in Boise, Id. for the BLM
in June of 2001. Ed Merrill filled as Crew Superintendent during the 2001
Fire Season and became the official Superintendent in 2002. Ed continues
to maintain the exact standards set forth by Kurt LaRue established in
1993. The Diamond Mountain Hotshots have and will continually strive for
excellence in the future in any all risk situations.
Mission Statement:
The Diamond Mountain
Interagency Hotshots are a highly respected, conditioned and professional
national all-risk management resource. We strive to maintain the highest
standards for training, work ethic, and Fireline effectiveness. Through
communication, motivation, and a commitment to the standards and
traditions set by earlier hotshots, the crew will continually work to
maintain a level of excellence in any and all situations.
