Never Forgotten

Today, we pause to remember Collin Hagan, a Craig Interagency Hotshot (Bureau of Land Management - Colorado) who tragically lost his life on August 10, 2022, while working on the Big Swamp Fire in Oregon. Collin's legacy continues to live on in the hearts of those who knew and worked alongside him.

"He was known by everyone as a very kind and compassionate man. He thought of others first and just did not worry, a trait many of us learned from him. He was often quiet yet had a remarkable sense of humor. Collin made his own path in life, a path which we are all so very proud he took."

Our thoughts are with Collin's family, friends, and crew today and always. He is never forgotten.

With the approach of National Wildland Firefighter Day on July 2, we’re highlighting some of the amazing individuals who make up this community. Meet Logan Blankenship, a Fire Management Specialist in Bureau of Land Management Fire's Division of Fire Operations here at NIFC.

Logan brings 24 seasons of experience to his role, having served on engines, crews, and as a Hotshot Superintendent. His journey began with the Snake River Hotshots and included time with the Midewin IHC in Illinois and most recently as the Superintendent of the Craig IHC.

Now at NIFC, Logan serves as a vital connection between agency leadership and field operations, helping ensure that firefighter perspectives help shape policies and priorities. He also leads BLM’s national preparedness reviews, offering units a chance to improve and be recognized for excellence. Logan’s favorite parts of the job? The unmatched camaraderie and a mission that contributes meaningfully to public land management.
