This is a 2-day course and you must commit to both days if you want to participate in this course.

This interactive NFPA® training, based on scientific research on how homes and other structures ignite during wildfires and NFPA 1144, Standard for Reducing Ignition Hazards from Wildland Fire, covers wildfire behavior, structure exposure, and the concepts of the Home Ignition Zone and Structure Ignition Potential. The training will enable attendees to confidently assess structure ignition potential and to recommend appropriate mitigation measures for homes and other structures in residential areas exposed to wildfire hazards. Individuals who learn the basic information about how structures ignite from wildfire will be better prepared to evaluate wildfire risk to homes and communities. In a learning environment that encourages discussion and interaction, sessions are taught by wildland fire specialists who understand how and why homes and communities are destroyed during wildfire events and the simple things that property managers, residents, and others can do to minimize property loss.
