      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at CAL Fire (Cameron Park, CA) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      Received an email informing me about a 'meet and greet', this is the only interview you get so make sure to go to this! dress professionally, a suit, collared shirt tucked in with maybe a tie. I brought A resume with all my certs listed on it, make sure to bring enough for all the captains which was 7 when I went. I checked in with a firefighter working there, waited until they were ready for me, walked up in to a room with all the captains and engineers with tables around the whole room. sat down with the captain I was already talking to. gave him my resume told him what PT I was doing and expressed interest in working out with them. they told me I was a good fit for their crew and that I would receive a call when they start training.
