These firefighters are based out of many states in the US. There are many in Oregon and Washington. They need to pass a hard physical fitness test to even start training to fight fires. Then they need to take a class to teach them all the things they will need to know to fight fires. It is a weeks worth of 10 hour classes. If they pass all of the above tests and score well on the other tests then they can be a wildfire fighter. Depending where you live, if there are any volunteer fire departments that you can join, they will give you the basic wildland firefighting classes you need. Which is S-130 (Basic Wildland Firefighting) and S-190 (Basic Weather, Fuel, and Topography). The is the minimum you need to become a wildland firefighter. If you want to work for a State or Federal, there will be a Pack Test. The Pack Test usually means walking three miles while wearing a 45 pound vest. You have 45 minutes to complete the three miles and running is not allowed.
