Replying to Wildland Firefighting Advice!

Merry Christmas! or whatever you may celebrate!

I was wondering if anyone could lend me some advice about getting a job Wildland firefighting out West. I'll be taking the necessary courses this winter and extra courses as well that will better my odds of getting noticed. I just wanted to see if anyone out there could help out a young college guy who really wants the job! Any tips? Contacts that I should...well contact? Thanks
