Today on the show, Jason Bullough stops by to share his information about the Helitack life and some best practices to get picked up by a helitack crew...

Jason has 17 years of fire experience, 8 years on Wasatch, and in the off season he works with region 4 hiring team to facilitate selecting the best qualified applicants for seasonal positions. We cover a ton of topics related to Helitack on today's show, everything from: Crew member expectations, qualifications desired, day to day operations, PT expectations, and the ins and outs of what to expect from a season on a Helitack module...

Hiring Season is coming to a close soon! September 30th is the last day that announcements are going to be up for temporary seasonal hiring for most regions... However, keep in mind that region 1 is experiencing some issues with the last announcement that they posted - They will be reposting the announcements to USAJOBS in the beginning of October...
