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
