The U.S. Forest Service is actively recruiting for wildland firefighting positions across the Pacific Northwest. Recruitment events will be held in Bend, Sandy, and La Grande on September 12th, aiming to fill up to 200 permanent seasonal roles. The entry-level positions, which typically last six to nine months, are available in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. With increasing fire seasons and crew burnout, the Forest Service is focused on expanding its workforce. Applications are open through September 24th on www.USAJobs.gov.
