Emergency Firefighters - EFF
During periods of high fire danger and/or activity, the Alaska Division of Forestry & Fire Protection supplements its staffing levels with the help of the Emergency Firefighter (EFF) employment program. This program provides temporary employment and experience to individuals willing to be available "on-call" while the need exists for additional personnel. EFF are hired to work on crews, helicopters, fire engines and more. In addition to firefighters (FFT2), the Division of Forestry & Fire Protection hires temporary support positions. These positions include: dispatchers, drivers, warehouse workers, administrative aides, and operators w/equipment. (See our Equipment Hiring page for more information.) While some of these positions require specialized training and experience, many are 'no experience necessary.'
If you are interested in employment as an emergency firefighter (EFF), contact the nearest Alaska Division of Forestry & Fire Protection Area Office.
