Training Opportunities

Wildland fire and prescribed fire training opportunities change frequently and are wide-spread. Below we provide a list of links to opportunities and will periodically post specific WI training. The Council will periodically offer training courses and workshops for its members. These opportunities will meet one or both of our two standards, the National Wildfire Coordinating Group and the Wisconsin Prescribed Fire Council standards.

What's New

New Crosswalk to link Structural Firefighting Training to Wildland Fire available through FEMA.  This should reduce redundancy in training thereby increasing cooperation.
