The Eldorado National Forest is recruiting members of the community to form a network of people who are ready to work in a support role during wildfires and other emergencies.

These positions will be “on call” and provide intermittent employment for people with availability during summer. There are no physical fitness requirements except for the ability to work long hours under sometimes stressful conditions.

There will be a two-hour introductory presentation on June 8 from 5-7pm at the Eldorado National Forest Supervisors Office, 100 Forni Road, Placerville. Descriptions of the different support jobs and sign-up forms will be provided.
 
After completing the free training, community members will be paid to fulfill incident support positions. Support personnel travel and work up to 14- and possibly 21-day assignments, which can be out of state.
 
This training is provided free of charge. To reserve a seat, email eldoradonfjobs@gmail.com.
