Prescribed Burn Crew Members Wanted

Ann Arbor MI

Description

Do you like to work outdoors in beautiful weather? Do you enjoy hard physical labor? Are you sometimes available on short notice to work afternoons and evenings? Does working with FIRE sound like fun? If the answer is yes, I may have a job for you. I run a small Prescribed Burn business - David Borneman LLC - (www.RestoringNatureWithFire.com). We travel all around southern Michigan burning prairies, woodlands, and wetlands. I need 3-5 crew members who can carry drip torches full of fuel for lighting fires and backpacks full of water for putting them out. The work is strenuous and requires a high level of physical fitness - you must be able to carry 60-lb water backpacks. No previous burn experience is required - I will teach you what you need to know. I'm looking for people who are good at following directions, like to work hard, don't mind getting dirty, and have some free time this spring! The work schedule is entirely weather-dependent, but will often be from noon until after dark. I burn 7 days a week from March through May, but will welcome crew members who are only available certain days of the week, even if it's only 1 -2 days per week. Interested parties should email a resume to [email protected]. Please note: During COVID, burn crew members drive separately to each burn, so you will need reliable transportation (I'll pay you for mileage and travel time). It's fun work! You are helping to restore nature, and you get to see some AMAZING flames!! Come join the team!
