Veteran Fire Crews

The Bureau of Land Management employs several wildland fire crews specifically for military veterans.

Veterans’ skills are compatible with wildland firefighting, such as:

teamwork
decisive leadership
risk mitigation and management
logistics
emergency medicine

Those skills can translate into career opportunities in wildland fire and other land management fields.

Careers: Veteran Fire Crews

From the front lines to the fire lines, military veterans continue to serve at the BLM. Check out our BLM Veteran Fire Crews Flickr album to see them in action.
