This is a great opportunity for students to receive training as a basic wildland firefighter. Many natural resource management agencies in Florida (and elsewhere) need employees that can assist in prescribed burning activities; S-130/190 is the first level of training required.
The training is 4 days in-person (plus 8 hours online) and will be held in Gainesville after the summer semester concludes (August 9-12). We only offer this course 1 time per year!
Current students with a valid student ID will receive a discounted registration rate of $75.

The S-130/190 training is the introductory course designed by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) to train entry-level firefighters. Participants gain knowledge of the basic incident management organization, firefighting techniques, suppression equipment, safety, strategy/tactics, and fire behavior.
This course encompasses both field and classroom units, including a day-long field exercise and hands-on-training. Successful participants will receive their S-130, S-190, and L-180 certificates.
