The primary purpose of this course is to provide a consistent knowledge and skill base for the Wildland Fire Investigator (INVF). This class is the first step to becoming a wildland fire investigator and will require further on-the-job training to become qualified.
The class will be the full week of September 26-30, 2022. The classroom portion will be held at the West Metro Fire Protection District Training Center, 3535 S Kipling Street, Lakewood, CO 80235. The practical portion will be held in a nearby, Wildland-Urban interface area. Light breakfast, snack foods, and lunch are included in the registration fee.
Participants must be members of a fire service or law enforcement agency to comply with insurance requirements.
The Class will begin Monday morning at 0800. You will need to bring your Nomex, gloves, and hardhat as we will be working outside learning on practical field burn plots. No need to bring your line gear but plan for outdoor work and weather. Hats, sunscreen, and water bottles are suggested.
