MNICS is looking for a few great people to join the 2022 Type 2 Initial Attack (IA) Crew program. Our crews are well known and respected nationally for being high functioning, experienced, and capable hand crews. This highly successful program is a result of the quality individuals who participate from all of our MNICS partnering agencies.

- Crew Boss (CRWB)
