The Division of Forestry and Fire Protection offers Basic Wildland Firefighter Trainings (Red Card Classes) every spring across the state. Some of these are blended (online and in-person) and others are entirely in-person. Each offering covers S-130, S-190 and L-180. If you choose a blended course, you will need to also complete S-130P, the field day, at a local area office. If your course is entirely in person, S-130P will be included. You must also pass an Arduous Fitness Test (Work Capacity Test (WCT)) to receive a FFT2 (Firefighter Type 2) qualification on your Red Card.

Local 2024 class schedules will be posted as available.

Online 2024 class schedules will be posted November 2023.

RT-130 - Refreshers & Pack Tests

All personnel that receive a Red Card from the Division of Forestry and Fire Protection must attend an annual Fireline Safety Refresher (RT-130). RT-130 is an instructor-led course, and must be attended live (virtual or in-person). Watching a recorded refresher is not allowed. The Fire Shelter Deployment (FSD) is required for all positions and may be completed at an in-person refresher or pack test. If you do not require a pack test for your qualifications, you must still complete a Fire Shelter Deployment at a local office.

2024 Refresher and pack test schedules will be posted March 2024.
