Basic Wildland Firefighter Training
The Division of Forestry and Fire Protection offers Basic Wildland Firefighter Trainings (Red Card Classes) every spring across the state,
as well as virtual instructor-led classes in February of each year.
This course will cover S-130/190/L-180. It is an instructor led course, with self study as well and live online classes.
In order to receive credit for the course, students will need to complete an 8-hour S-130P Field Day at a local Forestry office.
These are offered the end of April/early May at area offices across the state.
In order to receive a red card with FFT2 on it, students will need to complete the pre-work

Test, and be sponsored by a local or regional area office.
This course is offered through the JB Learning Navigate platform; course access fee is approx $60.

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.
