2016 Smokejumper Physicals

     Everything is all set for getting your physical for 2016.  Nothing too drastic has changed in the process other than the location of Occupational Health if you decide to use that provider.  Come on into Training and we'll get you the paperwork you'll need.  Here are a few things to remember:

1.     Physicals need to be completed before taking your PT test.

2.     AFD will pay up to $144 for the physical. If your personal physician charges more, you will need to cover the difference.

3.     AFD has a letter of agreement with Occupational Health of the Providence Medical Group in Missoula and are familiar with smokejumper physicals.

4.     To schedule an appointment with Occupational Health: (406) 329-5746.

5.     Occupational Health Office has moved. It is now located off of Reserve St. in the same complex as Arby’s and Taco Del Sol.

Address: 3055 N. Reserve St; Suite D
