@MrStryperfan yah bayboss is right on. If you aren't really into the medical side of firefighting don't go for cal fire because you will do a lot of medical calls. Go for forest service if your wild land all the way. Personally I like a wider variety of calls more than just straight up wild land firefighting but that just me. Check out both website and figure out which agency you would fit bet in :)

@MrStryperfan cal fire is a really good place to start if you want to eventually become a career firefighter with a city because it gives you really good experience with the variety of calls, from wildland fires to hazmat to over the edge rescue, however if you want to fight the big wildland fires around the nation, and be in real wilderness areas, work for the feds. the feds fight more fire because there response area covers the whole nation, cal fire does more mva's, medicals and tech rescue.

I cant decide if i want to become a hotshot for the usfs or work for cal fire. I am really into the outdoors and the wildland fire atracted me to this type of work. Wildland fire fighting seems like the field that i would want to go into. So does anyone have any info to either convice me or encourage me to become apart of cal fire or to become a hotshot for the usfs.
