S-190, INTRODUCTION TO WILDLAND FIRE BEHAVIOR – (6-8 hrs.) This course provides instruction in the primary factors affecting the start and spread of wildfire and recognition of potentially hazardous situations. It is designed to meet the fire behavior needs of a firefighter type 2 (FFT2) on an incident as outlined in PMS 310.1. Class begins at 6:00 pm at the Miller Fire Hall.

S-130, FIREFIGHTER TRAINING – (30-35 1/2 hrs.) The intent of this course is to train new wildland firefighters in basic firefighting skills. This includes a required field exercise that may be arduous in nature. L-180, Human Factors on the Fireline, is no longer included as part of this course. Students that successfully complete S-130, Firefighter Training will no longer be given credit for completing L-180, Human Factors on the Fireline. 

The L-180 course will now be presented as a standalone course. This can be accomplished through facilitation of an Instructor-Led version of the course or completing the Self-Directed (Online) version of the course.
