How much do fire pilot jobs pay per year?
What is a fire pilot?
What does a fire pilot do?
As a fire pilot or air tanker pilot, you respond to wildfires by providing water drops, fire retardant, and other fire suppression materials from your aircraft. In most cases, you spend the bulk of your day standing by and waiting to respond to an alert that indicates the probability of wildfire. Depending on probability, you may need to stay on-site or remain within a specified distance of the base. When the call comes, your responsibilities include completing the pre-flight checklist, loading the details in your GPS, and then completing the flight according to the directions received.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a fire pilot, and why are they important?

What is the difference between Fire Pilot vs Firefighter?

| Work Environment | Aircraft, firefighting helicopters or planes | Fire stations, emergency scenes, buildings |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Fire departments, aerial firefighting companies | Municipal fire departments, rescue services |
