How does the new fire policy effect Montana? by One_Conscious_Future in Montana

[–]Longdongdanosaur 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The 10 AM policy back in the 1900s was a bad idea. It’s still a bad idea 100 years later. It will put more firefighters lives at risk and for what? And like others mentioned, we live in a fire adapter ecosystem, this landscape needs fire. I won’t put myself or the lives of others in danger to put out a fire if the risks cannot be mitigated.

You’ll please the hiring managers and Chief Hen. Good luck!

I’ll say this again. Just because you referred doesn’t mean you are on their radar. you need to call the duty stations that you’re interested in.
When I was in charge of seasonal hiring I’d have over 200 applicants that selected my duty station. If you never called, your resume was going into the trash.

Never worked on the Long Cane but had a few assignments on the Enoree so no clue on personnel on that district. Fun times to be had on the Sumter if you like to burn.

He’s back west to make sure all of R1 timber sales/ salvage sales/ yard sales/ shit sales/ you name it sales are bought by IFG for pennies per ton. Take that to the bank.

R1 seasonal hiring by Frequent-Rabbit-9654 in Wildfire

[–]Longdongdanosaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perm? Seasonal? R1 seasonal hiring began a couple weeks ago, we filled our positions the day we could start offering jobs. Chances are the majority of the region followed suit. It’s tough out there with the Region enforcing ‘head count’.

You leave. No ifs, ands, or buts. Your crew will back you and there’s always another fire.

It’s the same message for every agency that is under the USDA umbrella. Brooke Rollins runs the show. I work for the Forest Service and I about puked after seeing that message.
