Forests in the Pacific Northwest are hiring 2027 crewmembers for engines, hotshot crews, helitack and hand crews, with duty stations such as Bend, Medford, Roseburg, Klamath Falls, Sisters, Hood River, Leavenworth, Chelan and Cle Elum. Fire work means digging line, running pumps and hose, extinguishing fuels and patrolling; slow periods can bring recreation, timber or reforestation assignments. Six months of general experience qualifies, and related study, fire training or high school fire training can replace it. Applicants need to pass the arduous pack test, federal firefighter medical standards, drug testing and E-Verify, and be at least 18. The temporary appointment starts between April 18 and June 13, 2027 and lasts up to 6 months or a year. Base pay is $21.14 an hour depending on location; housing varies by station and moving costs are on you. Apply on USAJOBS by 11/12/2026.
