Aerial Firefighting Pilot Jobs

Aerial Firefighting Pilot Jobs involve operating specialized aircraft in support of wildfire suppression and emergency response. Aerial firefighting pilots may operate helicopters, air tankers, scooper aircraft and other specialized platforms used to deliver water, retardant or other fire-suppression resources.

These operations require highly experienced pilots capable of operating safely in challenging conditions, often involving mountainous terrain, smoke, turbulence, high temperatures, limited visibility and rapidly changing fire environments. Coordination with ground crews, incident commanders and other aircraft is an essential part of aerial firefighting operations.
