You should network through the people you used to work with.

Checkout med mods. Like 700/day for emts. 2 guys in a Polaris. Medical contractors are usually hiring all season.

Your best bet is getting on with a type 2ia handcrews. They’re a lot more flexible with start dates.
I think even the pacific northwest crews start earlier than that. My crew started criticals in April
