Welcome to Fire Edge Solutions

Craig Daugherty is the founder of Fire Edge Solutions. He has been involved in wildland firefighting for over thirty-five years. He got the bug to be a firefighter at a young age, working as a volunteer alongside his father. He fought fires in the summer for the US Forest Service, putting himself through college at Texas A&M University, earning a degree in Forestry. Over his professional career, he worked for the U.S. Forest Service, the Idaho Department of Lands, the New Mexico State Forestry Division, and the San Juan County Fire Department, retiring as the Fire Chief in December of 2019. Since 2002, he has been involved with National Incident Management Teams, serving on a Type 1 team since 2006, and is currently qualified as a Type 1 Operations Section Chief. During the years of traveling around the country, he has seen many communities threatened or impacted by wildfire. He now uses that knowledge to prepare landowners, businesses, and communities to be better prepared and more resilient in the face of incidents. He'll bring his expertise in wildland operations, training, incident management, property protection, and community relations to your property, subdivision, or community so you are better prepared. As Fire Chief, he had the unfortunate challenge of dealing with a school shooting in his community. With a daughter in the school, it had a profound impact on him and gave him a passion to help other communities be prepared to respond and plan for active shooter events. 

Every year more and more communities are experiencing threats from all types of incidents, be it wildland fires or active shooter incidents.  Whether you are a private landowner, home owner or emergency services organization I can help you build a plan to react and be prepared for whatever gets thrown at you. As public agencies we have to show our constituents that we are prepared for all situations and were proactive in our planning.  I want to team up with you and help you and your community be better prepared. I have a true passion for this type of work and would love to help you. Lets talk, give me a call and me and my team can customize a program that will work for you!
