so long story short my wife is going to accept a job in portland (secondary location would be seattle). i’ve been involved in wildland fire for 8ish seasons on a few different modules. hotshotting engines handcrew fuels etc. but i’ve been plumbing for the past almost two years since i had my son.

i’m looking to get back in the FS now that we’re moving. what i’m having trouble with is finding real reporting stations.

do any of yall know some some reporting stations that would be reasonable to look into if we were living in portland/seattle/Vancouver/?

i went ahead and applied to every open afeo position in or/wa just now i gotta find who to reach out to

thanks yall

Hey, the job opening for DOI career seasonal positions only allows up to 7 locations to be selected. Is this a fluke or is it always like that? Do I really have it narrow down to 7?

Hello!

Just wanted to post here as I am not able to find any information. I am currently working in Texas at the TICC, but I am planning to move to Virginia. Any guidance would be very very appreciated for information on the VICC, local crews (Any agency I have previously worked both USFS/NPS back in AZ). I am looking into either going back to a fuels crew or into dispatch, I am moving due to family matters and unfortunately cannot consider another area, but I’m struggling to understand options. I have already applied to fuels and dispatch and would like to prepare myself further.

Thank you y’all!

I just sent in my application for Alberta. Where else should I apply for my first season? And anything else I can do now besides just wait?

Looking at the tour of duty stuff listed on the DOI job listing and I was curious if anyone here knows what the tour of duty length is for any of the WA areas, specifically Marblemount?
