I'm still going to school for piloting, and I'm doing a report on getting involved as an Aerial Firefighting Pilot.

If someone could answer the following questions so I can submit a report, I would appreciate it.

I've contacted several Fire Bombing or Aerial Firefighting companies with no response.

1. Education or training is required to enter this occupation:
2. List working conditions in this field - how many hours a week, day or night, inside or outside, etc:
3. What background is needed and how to enter this field. What should some do to get started in this career:
4. Is there a steady demand for workers in this field? How much job security is there:
5. How might this job change in the future:

Thanks in advance!
