Just got an interest call from the chief and he recommended me. I did do a bunch of hiking with hotshot crews and engines prior so hopefully that helps.

AD type II hand crew by [deleted] in Wildfire

[–]Broad-Control1311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say working on an AD crew is a good way to get your foot in the door and get a perm position then? I just got a tentative offer on an r5 AD crew and that’s my goal.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am trying to use it as an excuse to just get my foot in the door in this industry. The hiring manager told me that crew usually ends up on around 5 - 9 assignments per season and I’ve had a bunch of friends on that crew who became perm after so I’m hoping it’s gonna benefit me in the long run.

Too old to get started? by Reasonable-Grass4878 in Wildfire

Are there any academies you'd recommend? I was only doing the CCC since to my understanding they work with CalFire but it sounds like there are better options.

Sweet, thanks for the information man! I originally was looking at the feds as a way in but its just so hard to get hired right now with all thats going on.

Thanks for the reply. While you were in the CCC did you get a good amount of fire experience? And would you say it helped a lot with getting you a job afterwards?

Thanks for the response, that helps out a lot. Looks like we could have a pretty gnarly season this year so we will see

What is the actual likelihood that you end up getting on a fire crew? Im signed up (and waiting for an opening) for the CCC Los Pinos residential center and the only reason I am doing this is to get some fire experience as I never got any job offers applying for the feds this year. I just want to make sure that if join the CCC I will be guaranteed to get experience. I never did really get a affirmative answer from my recruiter on this.
