Just finished my S212 over the past two weekends. Couldn’t agree more. It’s worth the effort and work.
Where can you take these classes? And how many classes total do I have to take?
@@sebastianmoreno7567 in our case - our own certified instructors led the course, 2 days of classroom, and 2 days in the field on a shaded fuel break project. I know Colorado Fire Camp runs them as well. Depending on your state their are probably ways to sign up. On your cut day you have to make at least 3 satisfactory cuts, and become what is now a 3 faller trainee and your crew boss/superior will open a task book for you.
Do you guys ever engage any fires ? Or is it just fuel reduction
@@MegaLuis11 line staff/volunteers do IA on fires in-district but can go available for assignments around the country that have resource needs for anything from hand crew, tender/engine/brush, structure pro etc. We also have a dedicated wildland fire module/hand crew that we have the blessing of having in-district when not on assignment. Also a separate fuels crew that does mitigation work, fuel breaks etc - they also get the opportunity to sub in on the module as needed as well. The module is becoming WFM certified for this upcoming season.
You are attentive
Curious if fuel crews actually go and engage fires?
Depends. Our wildland module will take members of the fuels crew out on assignment with them.
thanks Cal Fire.🙂
What would be the difference between Cal Fire and USDA Forestry Technicians?
Im guessing this is a different civil service class than 1083, Firefighter seasonal?
yes
More for off season
who still need to be vac to apply? right i hear no and yes ?
Contingency fire breaks are??? I am in Canada
what's the differents in FF1 and And a Forestry Tech Certs wise? I applied for both but only got a confirmation for my FF1 position, and another email saying i didn't qualify for Forestry Tech position. Then I called some stations for more info and they told me it was the same position.
is cal fire felon friendly ?
yes
Wildland firefighter not forestry technicians
No, there is a difference between the two. They are forestry technicians and wildland firefighter face the fires head on.
@@Jackals123forestry technician is a job series code for the USFS, these are firefighters even though they only call us that when we die.
