Watch: A Year in the CCC Can Launch Your Fire Career!

 

 

Corpsmembers looking to join year-round CAL FIRE crews may be required to show they can meet physical fitness requirements prior to enrollment. All Corpsmembers are trained by CCC partners and must meet those partners’ physical fitness requirements to work on a crew. Corpsmembers who do not pass these tests can transfer to another residential CCC center or will be transferred to a non-fire crew.
Physical Fitness Requirements:
• Corpsmembers must complete a 3-mile walk over level terrain in 45 minutes or less while wearing a 45-pound backpack. This is known as a pack test
• Our partners may require additional physical fitness standards be met
Physical Exam: Corpsmembers must have a CCC pre-enrollment physical exam once they arrive on center. The Corpsmembers must be cleared by the CCC’s hired medical professional to perform the duties of a wildland firefighter, including working long hours over multiple days in heat, dust, and smoke.
Training and Certifications: All CCC wildland firefighting Corpsmembers must pass the required firefighter written exams to work on a fire crew. Training varies slightly between CAL FIRE and BLM crews. However, Corpsmembers can expect to earn industry recognized certifications at all year-round centers. The following certifications may be available to earn (speak with a recruiter for specific center availability):
