Klamath National Forest and Butte Valley National Grassland Press Release
Applications due before September 24th, 2024
The Klamath National Forest is currently accepting applications for multiple fire positions at locations across the forest. The application period is open now and closes on September 24, 2024.
Fire positions are available on fire engines, wildland fire modules, hotshot crews, helitack, and in fuels and dispatch. Open positions range from entry-level firefighter up to Assistant District Fire Management Officer. There are vacancies in Fort Jones, Yreka, Klamath River, Macdoel, Happy Camp, and Seiad. All positions are permanent full-time or permanent seasonal and include benefits.
The Klamath National Forest has one of the busiest wildland fire programs in California, and the work can be highly rewarding. It is a tough job at times, but an excellent way to challenge oneself while working in the great outdoors. It’s an opportunity to care for your public lands on a spectacular national forest and become part of a skilled fire crew – training together, fighting fire together, and traveling together. One of the many benefits of working for the Forest Service is that crews are available to go to other national forests across the country to help with wildfires. Crews also work on prescribed burns, both on-forest and away on assignments.
Wildland firefighting demands a high level of fitness to meet unforeseen emergencies and to safely perform arduous, day-long work in tough environmental conditions, like steep terrain, high temperatures, and smoke. Expect to run, hike steep hills, and lift weights as part of crew fitness programs. Other positions, such as dispatching, don’t entail the arduous physical labor that firefighters perform.
Interested applicants can go to the U.S. Government’s official website for job opportunities at USAJobs, where the vacancy announcements for these positions are posted.
