COEUR d'ALENE — For the second time this season, the Idaho Department of Lands' interagency fire cache has issued an urgent call for help.

“Idaho, and all Western states, face extreme and unprecedented wildfire conditions,” said Idaho Department of Lands Director Dustin Miller. “We’ve already hired dozens of individuals this season to work in the fire cache, but we need more help supplying and supporting wildland firefighters.”

IDL seeks to fill 10 openings for warehouse workers. These are temporary positions next to the IDL offices at 3284 W. Industrial Loop.

Hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., 6 days a week. The positions pay $16.76 an hour and are eligible for overtime. Experience driving a forklift is welcomed and applicants need a driver’s license. Wildland firefighting qualifications are not required.
