Crew History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Lytton Initial Attack crew acknowledges they operate on the traditional territory and home of the N\u0142e\u0294kepmx Tm\u00edx\u02b7 (Nlaka\u2019pamux).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site was originally used as a forward attack base for Lillooet Initial Attack, with efforts in the 1990s to establish a permanent presence. A unit crew was officially formed in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After six successful seasons, a wildfire technician was added to support full-time initial attack operations. In response to increased fire activity, a Crew Supervisor was added in 2022, followed by the addition of a third initial attack crew in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
