The Cal Fire 215 form is the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s official employment application for the Fire Fighter I position. The 7-page form collects personal information (including the last four digits of the applicant’s Social Security Number), contact details, and responses to preliminary screening questions on minimum age requirements, religious accommodation, and interview scheduling. CAL FIRE uses this form to screen candidates from every California county and district who want to serve in a public safety or wildland fire role.
The second half of the application documents the applicant’s education and work history. Firefighting certifications (CPR, EMT, wildland fire training), the highest education level attained, and employment records must all be listed. Work history is divided into six categories: CDF firefighting, non-CDF firefighting, volunteer or reserve fire service, public safety roles, medical care provider positions, and trades or industrial work. Each entry requires the employer name, job title, county or district, and dates of service. All statements are sworn under penalty of perjury and verified by CAL FIRE directly.
