Wildland Fire Fighters
Qualities We Are Looking For

**Experience working on a fire line is required for all 2023 crew positions - we thank all applicants for their interest, but only those with previous experience will be considered for this season.

Iverson Forest Management Inc (IFMI) is an equal opportunity employer who continues to strive for high standards and professionalism from their wildfire crews on and off the Fireline. We are looking for employees who want to share in the success of being part of an industry leader in wildfire suppression for over 25 years.

IFMI is looking for individuals who are self motivated, communicate effectively and can always demonstrate professionalism. Fire deployments can be upwards to 18 days, including travel throughout the province. A typical workday usually consists of 12 hours (travel inclusive) with overtime paid after 8 hours. Accommodations can vary from BC Wildfire, fire camp (tenting) to hotels and local fires where you come home each evening. Sometimes you are traveling, camping, and working with the same fire crew for weeks. 

We are looking for firefighters who are organized, accountable, dependable, and team players. You will need to be in good physical health to pass the BC Wildfire mandatory physical test.  

IFMI requires our firefighters to be available to work on short notice and be able to commit to going away to work for 3 to 18 days at a time.
