Two persons may be assigned per room. The rooms are quite comfortable, with a shared bathroom and are supplied with bedding and towels. While these rooms do lock, you are advised not to use your barracks room for long term storage of valuables. During periods of high fire occurrence many people are assigned rooms in the barracks on a temporary basis and your roommates may change. It is best to live out of a pack and take all your gear with you whenever you go on assignment.
Meals are available at the dining hall.
The food is very good and provided at no charge. Transportation into Fairbanks from Fort Wainwright may be provided on an as needed basis to allow individuals to shop for necessities. Housing at field stations will range from elaborate to rustic. All field stations have a mess hall, but you may be required to do your own cooking. When on fire assignment the living conditions will often be in a wilderness setting and may require camping for prolonged periods.
