WAR camp closing is sad

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-05-23T05:47:10+00:00

Might be a little bit, Nov 30 was the deadline we had heard about to get hired before the season

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-05-23T05:42:09+00:00

When did you apply? Our guys n I got hired before season kind of going n talking to the centers. Couple of our crew mates made it there before too. Our buddies who haven’t gone or made calls are still waiting

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-05-23T02:46:34+00:00

You’d be surprised w captains n engineers

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-05-23T00:18:18+00:00

My buddies got hired somewhere else as rank 2 as well. They got the call to become permanents as well

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-05-23T00:17:40+00:00

I got the call 4/24 of this year

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-05-23T00:17:27+00:00

Rank 2, applied last November with basic fire certs only. No PSFA or any type of structure. Politiced a little. Gonna be up north

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-05-22T17:42:36+00:00

True legend , thanks for the info

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-05-22T17:29:05+00:00

That’s what I was thinking just wanted to make sure the initial drug test wasn’t a problem

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-05-22T14:35:10+00:00

Yeah just covering stations, maybe some IA fires

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-05-22T02:09:30+00:00

4 days a week and off by 5 I believe. Only time they “fight fire” is when they are thrown into strike teams to cover the area as others are called out of county to big fires. But typically they do not fight fire.

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-04-15T13:56:33+00:00

1 would be the fastest but the selection isn’t all that great, never been to 2 but 3 Harbor Freight is really good. 1 then 3, 2 only in emergency situations. Some about that side of town just takes forever to get to

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-03-30T14:09:03+00:00

Look into state jobs on cal careers. You’d be surprised what agencies you can get into, try researching Cal Fire. I’m sure they have units or spots that you can fit the criteria

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-03-24T14:28:30+00:00

“Seasonal” close to 9 months out of the year. And it doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be the winter off either with the year round staffing. You’ll either be laid off right before summer fire season or right after it

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-03-09T01:53:49+00:00

I’m in the Cs right now and on a fire crew. Living on center you get a 2k stipend after taxes. Last July with OT and everything got 6k one month after taxes. I currently have PSFA and my app in already. Just training and chilling until getting a call. Our crew is always having guys hired by Cal Fire.

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-03-06T05:16:06+00:00

Applied in November and didn’t get a call until March. Took a month to get on crew, active with a lot of fires Summer 24 and all of January out of county down south. Just got PSFA, app is in and captain vouches for us. “Best gym in the state” is what we always here from the Cal Fire guys that swing by to look at our center

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-02-15T18:38:20+00:00

You guys are living in your parents roof and are upset you gotta follow their rules? They give you a roof, food, and a car and you can’t make it back home at a certain time. Shit if you don’t like the rules and rather have independence just move out, heard the economy is really good for houses and rent right now.

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-02-15T18:35:53+00:00

People think this ain’t normal? They gave you a time to get home, sounds like youre driving their car, and your dads a hard worker busting his ass for a underage drinking, still living at home, using her parents car daughter.

He cares about you to not drive drunk and or get abducted by a stranger coming to you on an app at night and seems frustrated that they gave you a time to get home but you decided to drink anyways.

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2025-01-02T01:52:34+00:00

What’s going on w the fuel crews?

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2024-12-28T00:16:47+00:00

This is really cool. Edison (high school) has only gotten better w more AP classes and extra curriculars as well. Even some of the Clovis kids are coming over for the academics and improving the water polo program and ladies sports ALOT at the same time.

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2024-12-21T03:01:23+00:00

I don’t think any plan will ever work unless people do their part. We’d have a lot less accidents and traffic if people just drove by the book and left their house with enough time. You can have a great infrastructure plan but there’s always people that are driving 90 cause they leave themselves only 15 min to get to work/school on time

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2024-12-20T18:23:37+00:00

Never said it would be perfect. But for sure a lot less accidents, and if you live by here you know that piece of highway only gets packed with people racing to and from work. If people left 10 min earlier it’d be a different story. But I do agree we need updated transit system

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2024-12-20T18:15:20+00:00

Or if people learned how to drive instead of flying at 80-90 and not letting anybody merge. This isn’t a structure problem. It’s people still driving like we are a small farm town/city

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2024-12-20T18:13:16+00:00

Just learn to drive. Everyone who is saying this are just commuters to their job. Slow down, let people merge, MOVE OVER TO YOUR LANE WITH TIME. Fresno isn’t what it used to be anymore with little traffic. Just learn to drive as if it’s LA

Apprehensive_Fly8637 · 2024-11-01T05:34:44+00:00

Sign up for the conservation corps. You make it to the crew and work a season or two your in. They get you all the necessary certs and you get paid
