The fire season for the Helena IHC begins early-May and extends to early October. Crewmembers must be able to commit themselves to this full time period. This is not a job to be taken lightly. It demands nothing but the best a person has to offer. We are a team and rely on every member to have a positive attitude and a dedication to the work we do.

See "How to Apply" for hiring information.

If applicants apply to more than one crew and are hired, please notify the superintendents and/or hiring officials if you no longer wish to be considered for other positions. This is beneficial to both the applicants and superintendents. A note, postcard, or phone call can save time, paperwork and hassle on both ends. Thanks!
