Tri-State Fire Inc.

Tri-State Fire Inc. is a minority-owned, Native American-owned, and self-certified small disadvantaged business registered to receive federal contract awards since April 1, 2004. Operating as a Subchapter S corporation, the company specializes in providing wildland fire management services and equipment to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Through its subsidiary, Tri-State Fire LLC, the company offers critical firefighting resources such as water tenders, engines, and trained personnel to support fire prevention, suppression, and natural resource protection efforts across multiple Forest Service regions.

The majority of Tri-State Fire Inc.'s federal contract awards are issued as delivery orders by various regional offices of the U.S. Forest Service, including the Pacific Southwest Region, Pacific Northwest Region, and Northern Region. These contracts typically range in value from $15,000 to over $110,000 and involve the provision of wildland fire services and equipment for short-term deployments, often lasting from one week to several months. The company's services are utilized to supplement the Forest Service's internal resources during active wildfire seasons and periods of high demand. While most awards do not carry specific set-aside designations, Tri-State Fire Inc.'s status as a small disadvantaged business likely contributes to its selection for these contracts.
