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.
Out of Area and Agency Annual Training Form – all regional employees and regional EFF should complete one of these at their refresher and Work Capacity Test (WCT), and turn it into their Training Officer. This includes regional EFF, EFF++ and Fire Medics.
All Fireline Safety Refresher Courses (RT-130) have been completed for 2026. Please return to this page in November for the 2027 schedule. If you have any questions, please contact your local area office or regional training specialist.
