As soon as my youngest is out of the house I might experiment with this in the summers. Just park my truck and go out there and live in a camper during summer. I'm not sure how to get in to it though except for just checking out individual county's highway dept's.
Is much of this work contracted private companies?
Work a year, take a year off, work a year, take a year off. Is company driving best?

You'd have to get "carded" which means taking a day long class put on by CalFire and USFS but it's not anything to worry about. Safety stuff mostly and practicing how to get into your fire shelter. The class schedules are usually posted on CalFire's site in late winter and there are several in different parts of the state.
If you get serious about it let me know and I can point you in the right direction.TheBlackKnight, PNwMtFlwr and 86scotty Thank this. -
I know a young man and his wife that work 6 months on and 6 months off. They work the harvest season for grapes in California as well as some other nuts and fruits (California pun intended), then they rent space for a Christmas tree lot and haul the trees down from Oregon themselves for their own lot. They just bought a 20 acre parcel and are building their dream home in a very expensive real estate market. So yeah, it can be done. BTW, Christmas tree prices at least here in California have doubled in the last 3 years. Not sure why exactly.

The part time driver will cost a lot less in training and torn up equipment too.
