Forest Fire Management

The Department of Environment Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) employ Project Firefighters annually to assist in fire management activities in Victoria’s national parks, State forests and Protected Public Land.

These positions form part of Forest Fire Management crews located at more than 80 workcentres across Victoria (DELWP and PV).

We are looking for people who want to help protect Victorian communities from bushfire, to become seasonal firefighters, as part of Forest Fire Management Victoria crews. Each year, we employ field-based seasonal firefighters to assist with planned burning and the prevention and suppression of bushfires in parks and forests. It’s a job where no two days are the same. Seasonal firefighting is a great way to make a contribution, be challenged, work as part of a team and develop career pathways.
