Fighting fire is a job you can get

You can get paid to do this.

Wildland firefighting is an entry-level job. You start with no experience and no college degree, and one season pays more than most summer internships.

Most crews hire in fall and winter for the next summer, when more jobs open up.

Arizona has 7 of these jobs open right now, and 1 of them takes zero experience.
