Altadena Aces Handcrew.

The Aces

Discipline. Teamwork. Purpose.

The Altadena Aces Handcrew is a qualified Type 2 Initial Attack (Type 2 IA) wildland handcrew within Altadena Wildland Fire. The crew is focused on wildland fire suppression, initial attack skills, physical readiness, fieldcraft, teamwork, and safety.

Our firefighters bring wildland training and operational experience together in a disciplined crew built to support authorized wildfire suppression assignments.

Type 2 IA crew qualification does not by itself confer dispatch status, public fire-department authority, or permission to respond without an applicable assignment or authorization.
