Type II Crew Leads are expected to lead specialized wildfire crews in the safe, effective, and professional delivery of wildfire suppression services in complex, demanding, and high-risk environments. This role requires advanced field experience, strong Fireline leadership, and a solid understanding of suppression tactics associated with both initial attack and sustained attack operations. Type II Crew Leads must be capable of directing crews through more intensive and specialized Fireline activities, including hand guard construction, hose lays, pump operations, burning operations where applicable, power saw operations, hazard tree management, mop-up, patrol, and sustained suppression efforts in remote and challenging terrain. These crews may also include specialized positions such as Advanced First Aid Attendants and Qualified Fallers, and the Crew Lead must understand how to effectively deploy and supervise these resources within the broader operational plan.
