Seasonal Dispatcher Positions

Eastern Idaho Interagency Fire Center (EIIFC) is often a fast paced environment to work in during the summer months. The EIIFC covers a response area ranging from northern Utah into Montana, western Wyoming to Craters of the Moon National Monument, and encompasses more than 7.5 million acres of land.

For the fire season, we are looking for seasonal dispatchers to work at EIIFC. Duties include emergency (wildland fire) dispatch communication via radio consoles and telephones, taking reports of wildland fires, interacting with the general public, and working as a team member in a diverse office environment.

EIIFC is staffed 7 days per week from May 31 to October 15 every year. We operate with 3 permanent employees, 3 career-seasonal employees (6-9 months per year) and three seasonal employees (3-5 months per year). Standard hours are 07:30 am to 06:30 pm, but may be adjusted to appropriately staff the dispatch center for on-going wildfires warranting overtime pay. Pay begins at $10.82 per hour and may be higher depending on experience. One season of wildland fire experience is required to qualify for the available positions.
