Forestry Division Wildland Class Schedule
Welcome to the Arkansas Department of Agriculture's Forestry Division class on wildland firefighting. This class introduces how fire departments and Forestry Division personnel work together to stop a fire. Wildland firefighting and structural firefighting are very different situations, yet we share many of the same thought processes when we deal with fires.
This class will not qualify you as a wildland firefighter; however, you will learn how the Forestry Division works on fire incidents. Through communication, cooperation, and coordination, our agencies will be able to provide a positive outcome to the incident, the fire is extinguished. We always do this with safety in mind.
To receive a certificate for this course, the student must: Attend the entire course, take an end-of-course test, and pass the test. The test will cover the course material.
