Aerial Firefighter Sample Cover Letter
AERIAL FIREFIGHTER RESUME COVER LETTERS
All aerial firefighter resume cover letters focus on the applicants’ ability to combat wild fires using aircraft. Such pilots are trained to perform challenging tasks in stressful situations. They use water or specially-formulated fire retardants to put out the fires. An aerial firefighter resume cover letter should mention the pilot’s ability to quench a fire, lay down a firebreak, as well as ignite backburns and control burns––all of which are part of this career.
