CAL FIRE FAE

Any knew news about hiring?

With all the rumblings of a huge budget crisis and many upcoming cuts, i would wait to see the May Revise of the Governors proposed budget before making any judgements about hiring in the next year or so.

Rumor has it they will be doing a round of FC calls starting next week. If that is true and the pattern continues, some FAE calls should be the following week.

I also heard hiring restrictions for non-safety employees. BU 7 and BU 8 employees are exempt.

Thatā€™s what I heard as well.

Where are you hearing that. People in the know? Or firefighter word of mouth?

Some reliable sources.

I received an LT offer in BTU last week, had to turn it down.
My buddy accepted LT offer in BEU a week before that.

Heard of others getting calls last week as well. I wouldnā€™t think to far into the rumors of a hiring freeze.

Rumors are just thatā€¦rumors. Donā€™t spread them either! It just makes a mess! Ha

Are you implying Iā€™m spreading rumors. If so, I am not. LT FAE offer to BTU last Monday. I would say that isnā€™t a rumor but truth.

Absolutely not! It was just easier to hit the reply button on your last post! Not spreading rumors goes to everyone. Even me! It was more of agreeing with what you said about not looking too far into the rumors

Copy. I appreciate the response. Everyone here knows how the fire service rumor mill works. Unless you have concrete information donā€™t speculate.

Anyone heard if FC calls started today?

Any word on when new seasonal hires will start? Been trying to get with CalFire for about 5 years.

I know some units made FC calls last week

FC calls occurred last Monday 5/11.

Another round of seasonals started today. Not sure if there will be more hiring this year.

Copy, thanks. I Only asked the question because if FC calls are made it usually means FAE and FFII calls follow.
