FR1230 - Forest Fire Management

This introductory course will cover topics on all aspects of forest fire management from prevention, pre-suppression preparedness, detection, to suppression.  Throughout the course students will study historical forest fire reports and legislation to prepare a forest fire prevent plan.  Fundamental information on fire behaviour, forest fire weather indices and the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System will be covered to build requisite knowledge for wildland fire operations.  Basic knowledge on fire suppression will be covered and supported with practical field exercises to expose students to typical duties of wildland fire fighters.  Portions of this course will be delivered online through CIFFC, under the direction of the NL Forest Service.  The CIFFC course modules will provide students with course certificates to support the building of the student’s forest fire training portfolio.  The CIFFC course modules also serve as prerequisite courses for the S-131 Crew Member Course required for students and graduates pursuing Wildland Fire Fighting employment with the NL Forest Service.  Knowledge and skills gained in this course will be applied to a wildland fire simulation project in FT1400 (Spring Camp).
