Hotshot Wellness

Hotshot Wellness was founded in 2021 by current and former federal hotshot wildland firefighters who recognized an urgent need for improved physical, mental, and emotional conditions within the wildland firefighting community.

Hotshot Wellness understands the escalating challenges faced by federal wildland firefighters as fire seasons grow longer and more severe. Insufficient federal support has contributed to rising mental health struggles, higher risks of cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, and troubling rates of suicide and suicidal ideation.

“MYSTERY RANCH has been an incredible supporter of Hotshot Wellness and a true ally to the wildland firefighting community. Their unwavering commitment through advocacy, wellness initiatives, and global partnerships has made a lasting impact. Thanks to their support, our organization has been able to grow and advance our mission of safeguarding those who serve so selflessly. We wouldn’t be where we are today without MYSTERY RANCH’s dedication and generosity.”

In response, our mission is to support the health and well-being of wildland firefighters through health-focused education, programs, and scholarships. We aim to complement existing organizations by offering a proactive approach to health and wellness education, ensuring a collaborative effort to address their needs.
