We could not agree more USFS, well said.

Many individuals who serve on wildfire assignments aren’t fulltime firefighters. The people working essential support roles in fire camps — often earn what's known as a red card, so they can assist on fires throughout the year in addition to their normal jobs.

Every role, whether on the line or behind the scenes, is vital to our firefighting system and the protection it provides to impacted communities across the country.

Survivors of mishaps in the woods often wish they had been better prepared than with the first aid kit buried at the bottom of a backpack. Have you ever opened your gear and wondered, would I be prepared in a real backcountry emergency?

We just finished reading Snowy Torrents (Knox et. al), and it reminded us that the most useful tool in a wilderness emergency is our brains. It’s important to have the right gear, but if our brains aren't sharp and prepared for an emergency in the backcountry, nothing else matters. Taking a Wilderness First Responder course prepares brains to meet emergencies with confidence and competence.

This course is designed for fishing, snowmobile, and raft guides, search and rescue personnel, volunteer fire departments, volunteer ski patrollers, serious adventurers, and side country enthusiasts.
