Want to get paid to support wildfire response in California? Whether you operate heavy equipment, provide logistics support, or offer specialized emergency services, there are real contracting opportunities with both the U.S. Forest Service and CAL FIRE. But to take advantage of them, you need to understand how to register, onboard, and stay compliant. This no-cost training will walk you through the basics of working with the Forest Service’s Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and CAL FIRE’s Hired Equipment Program. You’ll learn how to prepare for upcoming solicitations, the key differences between the two programs, and how to navigate onboarding requirements. Plus, you can get your questions answered directly by Forest Service and CALFIRE agency representatives!
