Three Day Intermediate Fire School – by invite only.

March 19th (noon-4pm), March 20th (9am-4pm) and March 21st (9am – 4pm)

Intermediate Wildland Fire Training:  intended for agriculture producers who have received basic Wildland Fire Training and are able/willing to step into a leadership role during rural wildfire emergency responses.   This training will include concepts around guard construction, initial attack and working with heavy equipment.  Participants will also increase their understanding of the Incident Command Structure (ICS) and language employed during an emergency response.

“Training rural people of northeast BC to defend their properties and their neighbors from wildfire will allow them to be part of the solution.  Training and gear to the first boots on scene in rural communities can both ruralize wildfire fighting and assist BC Wildfire Services in fighting wildfires in our region.” Sonja Leverkus, Northern Fire WoRx.
