well I'm a sort of firefighter. Buddy of mine broke my truck once and tried to fix it. had fuel injector not seated right( wel not seated at all actually) Whole bloody engine compartment was up in flames. I had to do some firefighting then, but no I'm not a REAL firefighter. sorry ofr the wasted post...kinda boring here at the parent's house.

If it hasn't broken, you haven't had it in the dirt yet.

If your asking about the process of becoming a BLM or Forsest Service fire fighters. Basicaly you have to get a application fill it out and send it in.
Here in Idaho they only excepted aplications from dec1 to jan12. so its a pretty short time period.

I posted your question on the newsgroup "alt.firefighters". I will get back with any response that I get.

I`m sure somebody has a link to a site that explains how to set up and use newsroups. If not email me at sdesjardines@home.com and I`ll try to help you out.

Dont get your hopes up beacause the BLM is not excepting applications untill Dec of next year unless something changes between now and then.
I guess if you have a in somewhere then you might have chance.
I dont know if the forest service is still excepting oor not
