The intent of this course is to train new personnel in basic Firefighting skills so they can operate safely in a Wildland Fire Operational Area.
The prerequisite for this course is S-190.
This is a blended coarse that requires the completion of both an Online Class by NWCG and a Field Exercise Day by AFR.
