Recruitment

The Klamath Interagency Hotshot crew is looking for individuals that are highly motivated and physically fit with safety as their highest priority.  We seek to maintain a diverse, strong and professional crew in order to ensure crew cohesion and effectiveness.

Physical fitness is the foundation to being a good hotshot.  In order to ensure an applicant’s success upon selection, we recommend beginning a comprehensive physical fitness program before applying for employment.  Hiking, running, weight training and calisthenics can all contribute to the whole body conditioning that is necessary to succeed as a hotshot.  If a crewmember is missing any of the above in their training program it can affect the safety and efficiency of the crew.

Prior wildland firefighting experience is useful, but not a requirement for employment.  The Klamath Interagency Hotshots will be looking for the strongest, best qualified and persistent applicants to hire as new temporary crewmembers.
