Is this for me?

Let's be honest - not everyone is cut out to be a wildland firefighter. And that's ok. The world needs accountants and recruiters too! When the thermometer is spiking north of 100 degrees, and there's a smoke column building on the horizon, you realize that there are two types of people in this world. Those whose first instinct is to run towards the smoke, and those who turn their back on it. If you're reading this, we know which type of person you believe you are.

Wildland Fire Jobs was built to help you realize your dream: to become a wildland firefighter. We want you to become the pulaski-wielding nomad you were meant to be, roaming the wild lands of America, putting out smokes, and looking like a boss doing it.
