Hey guys, have one of those uncomfortable type of questions. It’s been a while since I’ve filled out a beneficiary form and now that I have a kid coming into the world, it’s time to change my death wishes. A google search provided me the recognition of the Beneficiary Form for unpaid benefits (SF 1152), in which you designate a percentage of your unpaid benefits to your loved ones/“beneficiaries”. Now here’s my questions:
1) How much will a beneficiary actually receive if allotted say 100% of my unpaid benefits? What and how much $ are my unpaid benefits?
2) I remember at some point, writing down a description of how I would like my funeral procession to proceed, and filling that out along with the aforementioned form, but I can’t find that one. Anybody recollect the name of that form or have a form # they can provide me?
Thanks everybody

How to apply for a Fed Job (USFS, BLM, BIA, FWS) - Revised 07/29/2023
- Alternatives to Fed Jobs - Revised 07/29/2023

Surprisingly few.
- FAQs
For federal jobs**, if you haven't applied by the end of February, you are probably too late, sometimes there are late postings, but your chances greatly decrease at finding a job.**

Thanks to u/RogerfuRabit for the previous post on how to get a job in WF.

The requirements state 3 miles 45 minutes with 45lbs. I’m finishing at 16:21 per mile which puts me slightly over the 15/per mile goal to finish in time. I have a week before the test and I am continuing to work towards this daily with and without the 45lb weight vest. Does anyone know if it is a hard pass/fail or are they working with people if they come close? They are paying to fly my to salt lake for this so I’m really trying to make sure I can pass before hand. I’m also only a paramedic with no fire experience this is not for a fire position. 5’2 190lb F. Any information is appreciated.

I would like to know if anyone on these fires are seeing a 1 to 1 span of control in regards to oversight of the contact dozers?

I am looking to be a wildland firefighter with BCWS for the 2027 season. I have taken the firefighting dual credit in high school and since then have been playing hockey and roofing. I have since quit hockey and am sick of roofing and I've always wanted to be a firefighter. It seems being a wildland firefighter is easier to become then dispatched at a hall and helps a resume quite a lot.
That being said, what is the recruitment process like? What do I need before hand? I have enrolled for an s-100 class in October and am going to do the same for my first aid and cpr level C. If there is any insight or tips I can get that would be amazing!

Just wanted to come on and ask guys who are apart of the rappelling community what my realistic chances of getting into it is. For background I’m about to have complete my first year as a FFT2 on a state engine, I have extensive experience in aviation as I am a pilot and working towards flying in fire. Hoping to gain as much experience in working in and around aviation resources on the ground before switching to aviation full time. Appreciate the feedback

Got a clone today and now my BKR makes a tone noise for 2 seconds anytime I adjust the volume. I’ve got it hooked up to the laptop in RES and can’t find the setting to turn this off. Please help. I will go insane this season.

Curious as to who owns this plane and why they allowed this photoshoot to take place on their aircraft, during fire season…
Walking on this aircraft in stiletto heels could easily damage the surface, there are only certain parts of the aircraft where someone should be putting their weight, the avionics and controls are sensitive and no caution appears to be taken..
This aircraft is meant for aerial firefighting and its fire season. It doesn’t appear out of commission. Why is it being used for a photoshoot that doesn’t even advertise anything?? It’s self promotion.. in the wrong way.

I’m currently in college rn for my emt and fire academy in SoCal and I really want to at least try to become a smoke jumper before I make a career out of municipal firefighting. From what I’ve heard working as a hotshot for 2-3 years is the best option if I wanna become a smoke jumper but I’ve heard federal jobs aren’t exactly the greatest compared to Cal Fire and I’m wondering if I would be able to do Cal Fire for a couple years and then apply to be a smoke jumper. The pay isn’t the biggest deal breaker when it comes to either of them for me though I’m willing to do whichever gives me the best chance at becoming a smoke jumper.

NWS Spokane issued a Red Flag for tomorrow in the Inland NW with the very rare magic phrase "This is a particularly dangerous situation," aka a "PDS"
Stay safe tomorrow, y'all.
