About the role

CAL FIRE's Fire Prevention Specialists help reduce wildfire risk by educating homeowners, local agencies, and community groups about fire-safe practices and vegetation management. This field-based role supports public outreach that strengthens community resilience; ideal candidates are detail-oriented, comfortable working in the field, and dedicated to protecting lives, property, and natural resources. Applicants MUST have examination eligibility to apply.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
