Wink Fire fighting Training

I need information regarding a fire fighting flight training.
I believe in Canada is a suitable place for that kind of training and thats why I'm writing to you guys.
I would really appreciate any possible info regarding schools and requisites and why not employment opportunities.
Thanks y hasta la vista.

There is no such a thing as " fire fighting training " that I know of in Canada. You get trained by the company that hires you. It is not an entry level job ( 2500 TT, 500 multi PIC [+500 PIC float for for the Canadair CL215] are typical mins ) and there is not a lot of movement in the industry.

Try this site for more information Associted Airtanker Pilots.

You should also try their message board.

If I recall correctly, I read recently that the JAA was going to enact some kind of licencing/regulation in this area,so I'm sure there will ultimately be some kind of formal training in this sector.

Fire-fighting is big business and getting bigger (ie: funded) Worldwide.
