Western Fire Resources

Western Fire Resources delivers premier wildland firefighting resources built on Derrick P. Holdstock’s 25 years of federal, state, local, and private‑sector fire experience. When he founded the company in 2018, his goal was to create an employee‑centered organization that reflects the best qualities of the many respected outfits he has worked for and alongside.

We can stage engines and personnel for high-risk operations where your activities could start a wildfire. Resources remain ready for immediate suppression to protect your assets and surrounding values. We also offer consulting and fuels mitigation as preventive steps. During active wildfires we can provide home and infrastructure protection on a first-come, first-served basis.

We can reduce hazardous fuels through targeted field operations that lower wildfire intensity and improve resilience for communities, infrastructure, and natural resources.

We can stabilize burned areas, reduce secondary hazards, and support ecological and infrastructure recovery.

We can plan and implement prescribed fires that meet land-management objectives under carefully managed conditions.

We can use advanced modeling to support risk evaluation, treatment design, and decision-making.

We can develop comprehensive planning documents that identify values at risk, prioritize treatments, and establish coordinated strategies for wildfire prevention, preparedness, and response.

We can provide objective technical analysis and documentation for litigation, claims, and official inquiries.

Accurate, field-ready maps improve situational awareness, operational planning, and decision-making for landowners, managers, and emergency responders. We can create hard-copy and/or georeferenced PDF maps that load directly into free map-viewing apps on handheld devices, allowing users to see their exact location on the map in real time without specialized software or subscriptions.
