Fire Industry Introduction to Wildland Fire Behavior
Wildfires are a crucial part of natural ecosystems, but also one of the most destructive forces known to man. Within these two extremes lie the responsibilities of the wildland firefighter, who must not only be able to use his skills to protect and preserve human life, but is also occasionally called upon to use those same skills for the positive benefit of the ecosystem. Firefighters use a technique called “controlled burn,” in which they deliberately set and then manage a fire in order to properly maintain a fire dependent ecosystem.
This course will explore fire prevention, fire management, and the individual responsibilities of firefighters when fighting wildland fires.
