The region has expanded fire assessment, suppression,
and prevention programs to carry out the National Fire
Plan.
Fire Hire
Firefighters, scientists, resource and business managers,
computer and communications technicians—fire jobs
are as diverse as the Forest Service itself!
We hire seasonal and permanent fire fighters. Look
for job series #0462, which includes most fire-related
jobs, when searching USAJobs,
and other
listings.
Some fire fighting and restoration work is done by
contractors.
Protecting Your Home
Find information on home protection, safe debris burning,
the FireWise
program and more.
