Other Training The Iowa DNR Fire Program also offers other non-NWCG fire training. We offer a series of 8 hour trainings that can be brought to your location for delivery. We require one month advance notice for scheduling these classes. The classes we offer are the following. 8 hr Introduction to Wildland Firefighting
Course is designed for those who have a limited amount of time to commit to the full NWCG S130/S-190/L-180/I-100. Learn the basic techniques of fighting Iowa wildfires.
8 hr Engine Operator Course
Learn the basics of how to run engines in a wildland/urban interface area. Topics include pumps, driving, and tactics.
8 hr Prescribed (RX) Fire Course
Learn the basics of how, who, what, when and where about prescribed burning. Designed as an introduction to the process of burning. This course will not make you a burn boss, but it will give you a better understanding about the mechanics of a burn.
______________________________________________________________________________ * This class is the last module of training in the new online course of S-130, Module 13. S130/S-190/I-100/L-180, the beginning courses in wildland firefighting can be taken online at
http://training.nwcg.gov/courses.html Students of the field exercises must bring completed certificates from the online courses in order to gain entry into the class.
