Forests and their buildings come from the Forest Service office list. Jobs come from USAJOBS. "Open jobs, no experience" is how many of the open jobs are entry level. "Fires since July" counts fires that started inside the forest since July 18, 2026, when our fire records begin. One job ad can cover towns on more than one forest, so the same job can count for two forests.

Have questions?
Book a 30-minute call with Graham. He got a Forest Service fire job in Montana with zero experience and worked the summer of 2026. Ask anything: the application, the pack test, what the money really looks like, what to pack. Parents welcome.
“Talking with Graham was super helpful, he explained the hiring process and how to successfully reach out to fire crews. He is very knowledgeable on the different paths to becoming a Wildland firefighter and answered all my questions.”
