Replying to Wildland firefighters

I'll be a Senior in highschool next year and I have zero interest in going right to college... just the honest truth. I've been planning at least one year off to ski and I know I'll have to work my ass off during the summers.

A seasonal job as a wildland firefighter has really caught my eye. I've read a lot about it, but living in Wisconsin has left me confused as to how I will land a job fighting fires out west.

I'm seeking some solid advice from anybody with experience fighting fires. I'd like to know what steps I should take to get the job... Even though I'll be 18 years old with no relevant experience. Where/when should I apply? What are the requirements? Thanks in advance!
