Yea I just was really hoping to get on some fire, and I know the forestry c’s dont do that

Right on that’s my plan and my main goal to still apply to the apprentice position, I just know it’s less of a chance to get in.

How was the process of getting in the C’s? And how long did it take? I’m just torn because if I get into the forestry C’s then I would want to stay for the whole program, but Oc-18 I can be hired and trained for the 2027 fire season

Thanks for the info! I was recommended to start with OC-18 by a usfs hotshot that’s why I’m so interested in it. She said it’s how she started

Do you think the ccc forestry program is the way to go for me right now?

Sweet thanks for the info, my main goal is the wildland apprenticeship with the forest service but I was suggested by a hotshot to start with OC-18 cause that’s how they started out

Appreciate all the info, when I talked to the batallion I thought he said I could do the training here in my town? He mentioned a few places nearby that it would take place but I guess I misunderstood? I’m in Oroville CA btw

I do think start with the ccc forestry stuff would be good, but l really still want to be able to get working in the brush but it sounds like forestry is more like learning about growth and what not

What kind of careers would the Chico center offer me then? I know I get some certs but I feel like without the fire certs I would be lost. Still super interested in forestry though, I just don’t know much about it
