The purpose of this course is to train individuals in charge of the initial attack of small, non-complex fires, and to conduct fire fighting operations in the wildland/urban interface. This course will develop knowledge in the areas of leading initial attack resources to the fire, size-up of the fire, plan the strategy and tactics with available resources, tools, techniques and safety with regard to these operations.  The course will focus on the nature of both preventative and offensive/defensive fire fighting operations where areas of urban/suburban development interface with rural areas.  The differing nature of wildland versus structural fire fighting operations will be examined with a view towards a development and awareness of the unique nature of fire fighting in the wildland/urban interface.  The course will follow the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) 295-Standard for Wildfire Control; NFPA 299-Standard for Life and Property from Wildfire; the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) S-215 Fire Operations in the Urban Interface, and S-200 Initial Attack Incident Commander Type 4.
