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.
