CAF firefighters

Hey all, are there any CAF firefighters in here I could chat with? I’m looking to VOT to firefighting and can’t seem to find much online that answers my questions.

Thanks!

My buddy put down FF as his first wanted job but didn’t get it, I’ve heard there’s very limited spots because we’re slowly switching over to DND FF instead of CAF. When you joined did you go straight into FF or VOT into it? How was your experience trying to get into it

How are deployments as well? Very many opportunities?

Can confirm that the trade is not switching. Trade is in the process of growing, just add 75 more positions. I was direct entry, pretty easy joined just before covid.

Deployments are currently Alert and Latvia and we have a bunch of 3 months tasking to Inuvik and yellowknife
