Federal
Wildland Fire Applications
Proudly sponsoring the
Federal Wildland Firefighting Series Pages on
www.wildlandfire.com!
The federal application process for wildland
firefighting positions is vastly different from
submitting résumés and applications in the private
industry. Applying to federal positions can require navigation through complex automated hiring
systems – a tedious task for most. If you're
looking to get your start as a wildland firefighter,
want to put-in for a grade increase,
relocate closer to family, or just plain land a new
position, Loomis Hannah can help you achieve your goal.
Loomis Hannah specializes in the federal wildland
firefighting application process. We design
well-crafted, individualized applications and federal
résumés
that can be
formatted in a variety of ways – including for AVUE and
Quickhire. We also provide a number of services that can
help you get through the process on your own.
From designing an
application from scratch to simply walking you through
the process, Loomis Hannah can help you take
your wildland fire career to the next level.

Tip Sheets
With the constant shifting and centralization of human
resource personnel, getting information to help you
through the federal land management agencies’
application process is becoming more and more
difficult. The “Tips Sheets” provided in the left-hand
links bar are designed to give applicants the advice
that is no longer readily available in the Forest
Service and BLM. Please feel free to
email requests for
topics to be included in future “Tip Sheets”.
