In partnership with Front Range Community College and Aerie Backcountry Medicine, training staff from The Ember Alliance (TEA) have been putting on a unique blend of National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) wildland fire courses that include hands-on learning opportunities and wilderness first aid. The intent is to provide students with a well-rounded foundation to “spark” resilient wildland fire careers. This program includes S-212 (Wildland Fire Chainsaws), S-130 (Basic Wildland Firefighting), S-190 (Introduction to Wildland Fire Behavior), Wilderness First Aid, and an innovative, hands-on Wildland Fire Practitioner Lab, where students get to put learning into practice.
