Pay is based on a 16 hour day, 16 hour pay is guaranteed when deployed. Travel days are paid at half the negotiated rate. Training days are paid at $25/HR
Fireline assignments range from 1-21 days not including travel to and from the incident (which may range from 1-3 days depending on location). The RATS team is expected to mobilize within 30 minutes of accepting an assignment and arrive at the incident within 12-18hrs. Depending on team location, member travel may consist of driving and/or flying. The RATS module may stay on assignment for greater than 21 days, and in those circumstances the crew members will swap in accordance to federally mandated work/rest rules. There may also be opportunities to move from one fire to another with the RATS module after 2 days of federally mandated rest.
Work shifts while on assignment are 16hrs and RATS modules are expected to be available as a 24hr resource for the fire. All work/rest schedules will, however, conform to federally mandated rules and regulations.
Meals are generally provided on incidents, although per diem payments may be provided in lieu of meals if they are not offered by the fire. RATS modules are required to maintain self-sufficiency with food and water for up to 72hrs on any incident.
RATS crews will camp in established fire camps, remote camps, or unsupported spike camps depending on the incident and the assignment. Members must be prepared and equipped for any of these possibilities.
