Call When Needed (AD) Firefighters

 

Emergency firefighters: In addition to regular government temporary/seasonal employment, we may train a certain number of individuals to help fight fires in a “Call When Needed” situation.  These positions are called Emergency Firefighters and are often referred to as “AD’s”.

 

To sign up as an emergency firefighter with Central Utah Fire, you must reside within the boundaries that make up the Central Utah fire organization. These include the following counties: Juab, Millard, Beaver, Sanpete, Sevier, Piute, and Wayne.  Depending on the need, individuals are selected to be trained as a Wildland firefighter and put on a call when needed list.

 

To find out if any ADs are being hired in your area of interest, contact the DFAMO in the area you are interested in by May 1.

Beaver: Clay Matheson, DAFMO, 435-896-1613

Fillmore: Ken Wright, DAFMO, 435-743-4964

Teasdale: Jared Teeples, DAFMO, 435-253-1829

Call When Needed CAMP CREW

 

Camp Crew: When large fires occur and a fire camp is established, help is needed to keep the camp clean and organized. Camp Crews are ordered by the incident to assist with these duties. Camp Crews are a call when needed resource and there is no guarantee of employment. Assignments can be up to 14 days long excluding travel.

You must be 16 years old to participate in the program.
