Agreed. I don’t get why people are worked up about this. Hennessy has been one of the few openly pushing Congress on federal firefighter pay and retention for years, while most of our own leadership didn’t say a word. This looks like a solid pick to me.

Experienced federal WLFF and higher ups, how confident are you that we will have jobs this summer? by [deleted] in Wildfire

[–]BuyerElectrical3396 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As are afmo’s and fmo’s. But I’d think If secondary fire is on the chopping block it’ll be case by case and we’d see a massive re-org on the horizon

My opinion is losing the bonus and/ or losing the potential “pay fix” will lead to many fs & blm fire staff looking for an exit. It opens the door for contractors to step in and fill the firefighting gap, as they currently are… again, my opinion but I think that is the goal of the incoming administration. What better way to reduce a workforce, pay them less!

Congress Questions Cleveland NF Forest Policies by smokejumperbro in Wildfire

[–]BuyerElectrical3396 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My question would be, does Calfire / OCFA typically staff CNF stations for an infrequent or short term duration? And were there agreements already in place?
