What I do in off season.... make up time with family. But if you are in position to bounce around, I know of folks who work the West in the summer, get a short break, then head to the Southeast (Florida is a big location).
For jobs, if you aren't already familiar with it, try <a href="http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/a6.htm">USAJOBS</a>. If you act quickly, there are still some seasonal positions being advertised for the upcoming fire season. You will need to look at the 0462 series (Forestry Aide/Tech)as this is where 90% of the seasonal jobs are listed, and the 0455 series (Range Aide/Tech).
Good Luck
