Our REMS team is equipped with everything needed to handle the difficult, and hard to reach medical calls on a wildland fire.

Our unique TomCar side by side, is purposely built to handle the roughest terrain to make it fast and easy to get the patient quickly and safely to more definitive care. It is capable of carrying three of our team members plus a patient in its onboard stokes basket. Each REMS team is equipped with a full complement of Advanced Life Saving medical gear to ensure excellent patient care. When the situation happens on steep terrain, the team is equipped with the latest rope rescue hardware to reach and treat those in need. Pay will depend on experience in wildland fire and previous REMs experience. We are looking for:

-Self motivated individuals
-Ability to work under pressure and make quick decisions
-Must be confident in medical decisions/care
-Strong physical fitness
-Ability to leave within a short notice for deployment and always be ready
-Good communication with team
