Our hiring in completed at this time.  Thank you!

What are the requirements to be on the crew? 
     At a minimum applicants must have at least one season of wildland firefighting experience.  This can be on an engine, handcrew, or other type of firefighting crew.  The work that the Teton Helitack Crew performs is very physically demanding.  Applicants should be able to do the following prior to applying to the crew.  Seven pull-ups/chin-ups, 45 sit-ups, 25 push-ups, and a 1.5 mile run in less than 11 minutes.  One of the most demanding parts of the job is packing your equipment from the site of your fire to the nearest pick up point.  Equipment can be in excess of 100lbs per Rappeller.  Often times the nearest road may be many miles away.  Applicants should be confident in their ability to meet these physical demands.
