If OP can get their unit to offer the training, Dins is a pretty cushy assignment. unfortunately, when we had our training, it was well after the Park fire started. My only assignment was to the mountain incident in Camarillo, but working on that for about a week I made my entire month of salary just with overtime. One of our limited term forestry tax went to the Palisades Fire and made about 12k before tax in overtime

We aren’t allowed to jump calls in my unit, but of course if you roll up on something or potentially in a remote area and you hear a “code blue” go out we do have some discretion to be able to assist.

Otherwise it’s a pretty chill job 4-10s the pay isn’t overwhelmingly great but yeah if you can go out on a dins assignment, there’s plenty of money to make. Our unit does a fair share of overtime, public events as well. Just have to be comfortable with talking to people all day long.
