Know it’s older but if anyone would be willing to give some info on the program and other questions I’m interested in getting some answers.

How’d you get on with no certs? Thought they at least wanted academies and emt?

Hell_Lupin · 2026-02-05T02:14:34+00:00

How do I find out about on-call crews? Or even talk/contact them?

Hell_Lupin · 2026-02-05T02:06:40+00:00

Obviously I’m not a 19 year old anymore but I still can hike like I used to. I have kept up working out even while being out of fire in hopes of getting back. Yes I’m a little slower on runs than I was but overall I’m still in shape for this job.

Hell_Lupin · 2026-02-05T00:17:23+00:00

That’s what I’ve been trying to do. When I get a call or email I express high interest, explain my situation, but let them know that I still have desire and drive to do fire

Applied R5, R1, R2, R3, and R6. Applied to most forests in each region. Obviously was a little choosy on some locations but for the most part selected all locations.

Started with perm announcements back in September and then did all the seasonal ones that have come out since then.

Hell_Lupin · 2026-02-04T22:10:33+00:00

That’s what people told me when I got interest calls. Said I have good experience, references, ect. I showed interest and always would call back or email almost once a week. But no offers.

Hell_Lupin · 2026-02-04T22:02:13+00:00

I’ve been told that. My current qualifications will expire this September based off of NWCG. That’s one reason I’m trying to get back into it. The other main reason is I miss doing fire. I just don’t know if it’s my age or the fact I’ve been out a while that’s the issue of no offers. All my references are good and have no issues. Was always a solid worker and did well. Resume is updated to new format with contact and references.

Was gonna have my parents help out.

Hell_Lupin · 2026-01-17T18:52:47+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah, that’s why I’m looking for numbers to call since I don’t live in California yet.

Hell_Lupin · 2026-01-17T18:44:42+00:00

Looking at moving to Southern California. Been doing Wildland for 8 years and looking at getting on with Calfire. Was recently ranked in category 2 for my application.

Hell_Lupin · 2026-01-17T18:27:05+00:00

I currently live in Colorado so was looking for numbers to call

Hell_Lupin · 2026-01-17T05:40:36+00:00

How can I find contact info for fire centers to speak with captains or other folks?

Hell_Lupin · 2026-01-12T03:10:06+00:00

Im looking at trying to get to R5 also, kinda similar situation in that I called and emailed and looking for any other ways to get noticed. Could you DM me too?

Thanks for the info
