Our story

Firewatch was started by Blake and Lia, two people who like building things, being outside in the winter, and seeing what happens when you put heat, cold, and people together by a lake.

We ran for the winter and summer seasons of 2026 and sold over 1k tickets. We’ve now closed the doors of Firewatch. Thank you to everyone everyone who cheered us on, came to a session, or helped us in any way, big or small. Creating Firewatch and meeting all of you has been the experience of a lifetime. We are so, so happy that it happened.
