KZNFPA - Firestop

I have been firebombing with the KZNFPA for a number of years. I cannot give a comparison between the two associations but I can give you some info on KZNFPA.

On the spotter pilots side, it is very difficult to get in as the KZNFPA use the same pilots every year, for continuity and for knowledge of the vast area that is covered. The only way to get in is to wait for a vacancy, which doesn't come along often as the current pilots are comfortable at the moment.

On the bombing side you have to work for one of the companies that contract to the association, and KZNFPA have to approve of you.

Send a CV to the KZNFPA, contact details are on their website: www.firestop.co.za

Cheers
