Arizona Conservation Corps

Veterans fire crew member

July - December 2019 • Flagstaff, AZ

What I liked

I really loved being outdoors, in forests, traveling all over the state, camping out, commoraderie, and of course cuttin down trees with a 42" chainsaw!

What I wish was different

I wish it would have been with a actual fire crew, but the AZCC did get me certified and up to speed on everything required to obtain a job with one.

Advice

If you have the opportunity to do it, or have young folks in your life, I would highly recommend the AZCC!

Having a 10 hour work day was tough.

Buy good hiking shoes, they may be expensive but it is worth it.
