Full job description

Wildfire crew members are expected to participate and excel by suppressing fires using methods such as digging hand guard, using water delivery systems, operating power saws and various other practices. Working as a part of an organized crew within a definite command structure, wildfire employees work long hours in stressful or potentially dangerous situations and are expected to be able to work for extended periods with little time off. While not engaged in active fire response, crew members may be scheduled for base support duties, equipment and facility maintenance, training, physical fitness testing, or other project-based work such as silviculture, trail building, or brushing, where available. However, as this is an on-call position, non-fire assignments and hours of work cannot be guaranteed and will depend entirely on operational requirements, project availability, and fire activity. Firefighters are expected to remain available during standby periods and be prepared to respond within the required timeframe when dispatched.

Firefighters need to be in excellent physical condition and exhibit a high energy work ethic. They need to be able to take direction, work co-operatively within diverse teams, work groups and across the organization to achieve group and organizational goals. They must be able to work long days under extreme conditions, be flexible regarding ongoing changes in responsibility, assignments and organizational structures.

Travel safely by truck, boat, ATV, float plane and helicopter without issue.
Maintain personal health and fitness in order to conduct firefighting duties regularly and efficiently.

Quality & Professionalism:

Maintain professional deportment and demeanor at all times.
Attend, and successfully complete, any additional fire suppression training (as required by management).
