Event Description

Basic Fire | S-130, S-190, L-180, I-100

 

Basic Wildland Fire Suppression Orientation is a video which provides essential information for personnel interested in wildland fire management. It may be used as a companion to S-130, Firefighter Training, and is particularly useful for indoctrination of non-fire management employees to the world of wildland fire. The video provides information on personal preparedness and responsibility, mobilization, incident procedures, proper clothing and equipment, and living conditions in wildland fire camps.

Objective
• Provide new personnel and non-fire management employees with introductory information about wildland fire management.

S-130/L-180-This course is designed to provide entry level firefighters skills. Field time is encouraged, and many of the units are set up so they can be taught in either the classroom or the field. The field exercise for Unit 12 is required. A version of L-180, Human Factors on the Fireline, has been included as part of this course. Credit should be issued for both S-130 and L-180 upon completion of this course.

S-190-This course provides instruction in the primary factors affecting the start and spread of wildfire and recognition of potentially hazardous situations. S-190 is typically taught in conjunction with or prior to Basic Firefighter Training, S-130.

I-100- Introduction to Incident Command System

Basic Fire | Cost: $175 (Includes Breakfasts & Lunches)
