Northway Alaska LPRC
Northway Alaska LPRC poster art.
The Lucky Peak Rappel Crew is a 15-person Initial Attack Rappel and large fire support crew. They are tied directly to a contracted type 2 helicopter and their crew encounters the full spectrum of wildland fires – from small, two person lightning-ignited timber fires to running rangeland fires to complex, large scale project fires. In conjunction with the capabilities of the aircraft, they are often relied on to fill a variety of suppression and support roles which include rappelling for fire suppression, helispot construction, delivering people and equipment for fire suppression, Helibase duties, and helping with management projects.

They are equipped to rappel fires for initial attack, manage and support fire and aviation suppression efforts on a local and national level, and perform aviation related projects in support of forest resource needs.
