RVETS | CAL FIRE
CAL FIRE is an all hazard organization, employing approximately 170+ different civil service classifications and 13 bargaining units spanning many occupational areas. CAL FIRE has careers in administration, aviation, information technology, fire protection, resource management, etc. CAL FIRE’s Office of the State Fire Marshal employs Arson and Bomb Investigators (Class Code 8997), Pipeline Safety Engineers (Class Code 2278), Deputy State Fire Marshals (Class Code 9086), and more.    
CAL FIRE also utilizes temporary, non-testing civil service classifications for much of its seasonal workforce in fire protection and resource management. 

Fire Fighter I (FF I) (Class Code 1083) – As a member of a fire crew, a FF I receives training in wildland, rural, and structural fire suppression methods and techniques; fights fire as a member of a fire crew using tools and equipment such as a shovel, axe, McLeod, Pulaski, and back pump; clears trails and cuts brush; assists in building, grounds, and equipment maintenance and repair; inspects, cleans and repairs fire hose and equipment, sharpens fire tools, paints equipment and buildings and performs semiskilled or laboring construction work; performs general station house- keeping and kitchen duties.

For more FFI information, please visit the CAL FIRE Careers page.

Forestry Aide (Class Code 1060) – In the fields of forestry, fire prevention, or natural resource management, a Forestry Aide provides subprofessional assistance.  Examples of work tasks include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: timber marking, cruising, pest control, forest engineering, establishing and measuring sample plots, remote sensing, geographic information systems processing and analysis, resource surveys, nursery operations, seed processing and storage, State Demonstration Forest operations, forestry assistance, urban forestry programs, and/or directing work crews. May perform or assist in such assignments as fire prevention patrol and inspections, Emergency Command Center/Operations Center call taker, incident base support, and other emergency related assignments (e.g., fire suppression and control).

For more Forestry Aide information, please visit the Careers page.
Both the FF I and Forestry Aide civil service classifications are non-testing temporary classification used by CAL FIRE. Unlike other civil service classifications, these do not require a civil service examination.

All vegetation will burn, even though irrigation has created a deceptively lush landscape of ornamental plants.
Following the loss of lives and structures during the 1993 wildfire season, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors created the Wildfire Safety Panel to offer recommendations that would help reduce the threat to life and property in areas prone to wildfires. One of the recommendations was to follow the findings of the Wildland Urban lnterface Task Force and another was to enforce the provisions of the Bates Bill. Jurisdictional Fire Departments were required to establish a set of guidelines and landscape criteria for all new construction in Fire Hazard Severity Zones. As a result, Fuel Modification Plans became a requirement within Los Angeles County beginning in 1996.
In the areas served by the County of Los Angeles Fire Department, all new construction, remodeling fifty percent or greater, construction of certain outbuildings and accessory structures over 120 square feet, parcel splits and subdivision/developments within areas designated as Fire Hazard Severity Zones will require a Fuel Modification Plan approval before the applicable land division, Conditional Use Permit, or Building Permit will be approved. The County of Los Angeles Fire Department Forestry Division’s Fuel Modification Unit is responsible for processing, reviewing, and approving these plans.
Cal Fire is responsible for the mapping and revisions to all Fire Hazard Severity Zones across the state. These zone designations establish minimum standards for building construction and exterior landscape features in an effort to mitigate the increasing losses from our cycle of wildfire vents. Cal Fire designates the Severity Zones for all State Responsibility Areas (SRAs). In Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs), the jurisdictional county or city determines the Severity Zones with approval from the state that are then adopted by local ordinance or city councils.

Forest Stewardship

 Forest Stewardship Program
Encouraging good stewardship of California's private forestland.

California's forests provide innumerable benefits, including clean water and air, recreation, timber, habitat, and beautiful scenery. Approximately one fourth of the state's diverse forests are owned by non-industrial private landowners.
The California Forest Stewardship Program was created to encourage good stewardship of California's private forestland. The program provides technical information and assistance to landowners to promote sound forest management, and assists communities in solving forest-related issues.
 The Forest Stewardship Coordinating Committee, made up of representatives of diverse interests, provides direction for the Forest Stewardship Program. 


 Forest Stewardship Coordinating Committee
 

The California Forest Stewardship Coordinating Committee is an advisory body for the California Stewardship Program, which is administered by the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection through the Forest Legacy Program. The committee meets quarterly to learn about forestry issues throughout the state and to make recommendations.
The Forestry and Fuel Management Committee of the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts (CARCD) has taken on the responsibility of the State Forest Stewardship Coordinating Committee.

Artificial Intelligence

AI improves wildfire suppression by detecting fires early, predicting their occurrence, guiding firefighting efforts, and aiding in post-fire analysis and restoration. It can analyze satellite imagery, weather and environmental data, and provide real-time mapping and tracking of the fire's progress. AI-powered drones can survey the area and offer information to firefighters on the ground.

Last Mile Connectivity

Last mile connectivity is crucial for effective wildland firefighting. It enables real-time data collection and analysis, allowing first responders to communicate and coordinate their efforts. This improves response times and safety, as it allows for the use of advanced technologies like sensors and drones.

IoT (Internet of Things)

IoT technologies can play a critical role in wildland firefighting by improving situational awareness, enhancing firefighter safety, and optimizing resource management. As the capabilities and adoption of IoT continue to grow, we can expect to see more innovative applications of this technology in the field of wildland firefighting.

 Submit Information to the Office for Review


 This form is for submitting information relevant to the OWTRD's focus on emerging technologies that may produce a meaningful advancement in how the industry prevents and suppresses wildfire. The OWTRD reviews each submission to assess its potential contribution to our mission.

Fire Perimeters | CAL FIRE
There are two fires on BIA managed land that do not have 3 letter code identifiers, thus "Unit" was left blank. A hand drawn perimeter of the 1990 San Juan Canyon fire in BEU was submitted by a fire fighter who worked on the fire. The perimeter of the Thomas fire of 2017 was replaced this year by one collected by SBC that is based on someone walking some parts of the perimeter for better accuracy.
Firep17_1 was released April 13th, 2018. 612 wildfires from the 2017 fire season were added to the database. Three USFS wildfires from previous years were also added (1 from 2014, and 2 from 2016). Attributes from three USFS wildfires were also corrected (Willow 2015, Gilman and Meadow 2016). Two new USFS Forest were added to the domain list of Units (Rogue River-Siskiyou NF & Fremont NF). The Barry Point Fire is now attributed to the Rogue River-Siskiyou, previously it was attributed to other (as a unit).
Firep16_1 was released May 4th, 2017. One 2014 VNC fire perimeter was replaced by a more accurate version. Three new perimeters from 2014 were added (VNC). A new perimeter from 2013 was added. Sixty-six new perimeters from 2015 were added. Ninety-two new perimeters in Marin County, from 1917 to 1934 were added. They were hand drawn by the Marin County fire Chief Garber and digitized and submitted by NPS. Eight duplicate fire perimeters were deleted.
Firep15_1 was released June 9th, 2016. The ALARM_DATE and CONT_DATE fields have been changed from STRING fields to DATE fields. In the many cases where only the year of a fire existed (ex. 19170000) the tool couldn't process the data and the entry is NULL. In those cases, the year can be found in the YEAR field.
Firep14_1 was released in May 2015. After release, the NPS supplied corrections for 14 wildfires and 67 prescribed burns. The corrected data was posted to FRAP's data download page as fire14_1 in late May.
Applications | Terra
Recent wildfire activities include Wallow and Horseshoe 2 fires, which occurred in the U.S. Midwest region.  These two wildfires destroyed 700,000 acres of land and millions in damages. MODIS Rapid Response System played an active role by providing daily images in near real-time to emergency personnel such as the U.S. Forest Service who monitor and track fires.
