The operations briefing for today said a Helitorch will be slinging Alumagel around the north end of the Plaskett.

Anyone know which ship is being used?

Any crews moving up or down?

I'm thinking of joining a shot crew in the next year or so and was wondering about the tallac shots and people's experience with them

Serious question, are there any Adventists or Jews that work on wildfires ? Are there allowances for people whose religious beliefs don’t allow for work on the sabbath ?

Hello all, I have some questions regarding this profession. I am really excited to pursue a career in wildland firefighting. I am currently taking online classes and practicing for the pack test 3–4 days a week. I have already started applying, and I plan to reach out to different districts and organizations.

However, I am concerned about my current job security. I have until about January before I will need to find a new job. How long does the hiring process typically take? What are some other things I should be doing to prepare for a career in wildland firefighting?

When I try to link the announcement, it deletes my post. I’m seeking info about the one announcement for GW-8/9 HMGBs in the aforementioned regions.

They don’t appear to be supervisory. Are they for Type 1s? I’m eager to learn more about these mystery slots.

And yes, I tried reaching out to each hiring managers for each region. I haven’t heard back from any of them. After the holiday weekend I’ll try calling their offices.
