Just applied for Wildland firefighter. Just completed Wildland certifications through my volunteer fire department. I'm excited!

First fire I was assigned to was to deliver supplies to the fire camp. I arrived in the evening and was put to work right away until 2200. I was then told to be back at work at 0600. In the afternoon I asked what time will I take the truck back to Olympia. They said you are assigned to a wildfire, you are a resource on this fire until you are released. “I don’t know what DAY you will be released let alone the time. “ I had no experience with fires until that 1985 fire. Now I am retired from wildfires after 30+ years and I have had a lot of experience plus training thousands of others including but not limited to Yakama Nation, National Guard 2x , inmate fire crews, annual Fire Guard Schools. My “red card” and IQS has lots of qualified ICS positions listed. Including Fireline Explosives and High Angle Fire Crew plus 10 years on Incident Management Teams.

Going into my Rookie season here in a few short weeks. Been soaking up knowledge from your channel as well as any other source I can get my hands on for preparation. Appreciate the channel and the job you've done and do. Looking forward to make a difference this season.

Same here buddy! Class training/pack test is end of April for us, field training is early May. I'm quitting a stable secure job I've held for the last 10 years to start something completely new, and very useful. Here's to making a difference🤝

Well I was a wildland firefighter 1975 to 1985 back when there was a lit of limited resources. I thought about writing a book about my experience as a hotshot and engine grunt as was as loading air tankers

@dutchmans 13 күн бұрын

I was on the Angeles national forest in California and worked at several stations. Hots shots were bearbdivide and fox tanker base in Lancaster. Also worked Valyermo , mill creek and monte Cristo

Would love to chat with you sometime about your experiences and if I should pursue this idea. Be safe God bless

So if the off season you do trail maintenance or how do you manage the forest conditions when there is no fire?

I’ve been trying to get on with a veterans fire corps crew since I got out in 2021 still no luck I apply to every single one and always get an interview but ever time I get that email saying I haven’t been selected for it

@wildlandfirefit Жыл бұрын

Ah, I am so sorry! If you are getting selected for an interview, that tells me your resume is good. However, you may want to reflect on your interview skills. Can you walk me through a little how the interview goes?

I do have questions about eating. I am 135Ld and need 4 to 5 meals a day. how much room in your pack do you have? enough for a good amount of snacks?

@wildlandfirefit 2 ай бұрын

Oh yeah, you will have plenty of room. I always kept an MRE in the bottom of my pack and then had a bunch of snacks
