Firefighters are trained on ladder escapes, untenable conditions, and emergency firefighters bail out during extreme conditions. Wildland firefighters are specially trained firefighters with limited escape options.
You will be required to follow oral/written directions, do heavy physical work, exercise good judgment in hazardous emergency activities, be willing to live in remote areas and work on weekends/holidays. Being physically fit is vital to your success as a firefighter.
The Forest Service acknowledges it's struggling to hire firefighters all over the country. In early April, the agency said it had only signed on 76% of its total goal of crews for the summer.
A Type 3 fire engine is what you'll see if you live in a mountainous or rural community. These (typically) four-wheel drive apparatus are designed for rapid deployment, pick up, and relocation during wildfires. Technically, a Type 3 fire engine includes a pump operating at 120 gpm, a large 500 gal/tank, 1000 ft.
To become a wildland firefighter, you must have training (provided by the DNR) and pass a physical fitness test at the moderate level. The DNR employs two types of firefighters: emergency intermittent positions know as smokechasers, fire lead response, and fire technicians, and seasonal positions.
