Prescribed Fire Training Exchanges (TREX) provide experiential training that builds robust local capacity for fire management and offers professional fire practitioners a holistic perspective—while implementing controlled burns that support community and landscape objectives. TREX events provide a cooperative burning model that services the needs of diverse entities—federal and state agencies, tribes, private landowners and contractors, academics and international partners—all while incorporating local knowledge and values to build the right kinds of capacity in the right places.
