The Winema IHC traces its roots to the Star Suppression Crew, which was formed on the Rogue River National Forest in 1962.
The name of the crew was changed to the Rogue River Roughriders Inter-regional (IR) Crew in 1970. The national reorganization to Interagency Hotshot Crews caused another name change — to the Prospect IHC in 1980.
In 1982, the crew moved over the mountain to the Winema National Forest. The Winema IHC have been based in Klamath Falls since then.
