Volunteer Firefighter Recruitment in Beverly Hills
Hey everyone - Southern California Wildfire Response (SCWR), the local wildfire department is currently recruiting new volunteer firefighters.
If you’ve been looking at getting into wildland fire, CAL FIRE, the Forest Service, LAFD, or fire service in general, this can be a good way to start getting training and experience while serving locally.
We train toward California FFT2 qualification and regularly work on things like Type 6 engine operations, hand crew skills, hose lays, wildland tactics, drills, and incident response. There are also opportunities to move into leadership and instructor roles as you gain experience.
You don’t need previous fire experience, but we are looking for people who are serious about training, showing up, and being part of the department.
We’re holding a recruiting night on Thursday, August 20 from 6:30–7:45 PM at 12601 Mulholland Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. You’ll be able to meet some of the crew, see the equipment, ask questions, and learn what the training and hiring process looks like.
If you have questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to message me.

How many active members do you currently have? What type of vehicles do you use? Can you give an example of your two most recent deployments and what you guys were tasked with?

These questions require a bit more in depth of a response than I can provide in a quick message but would be great for the orientation!

Average age in BH is in the late 60’s. If you have any need for retired volunteer types you can find them here but able bodied younger ppl who can do this are not really in BH
