So how does one fall into air firefighting
If you are fluent in Italian and willing to work for 4 months out of 12 on a 3 year contract, pay for your TR (CL415T) and log 200/250-ish hrs every season (depending on the "heat" and the base) the company to get in contact with is SOREM in Rome Ciampino.

Spectacular job, so I am told by friends doing it for their 3rd year but miserable T&C's unless you are a fill-timer. The other option could be the old piston workhorse (CL215) this summer based in Corsica.

As far as I know in Greece you need to be part of the military as well as in Spain and France. However Spain operate private AT's in LEVC and they have been deployed in Southern Italy and former Yugoslavia.

I pass when it comes to US but SNS3 knows for sure.

Chill out...
