Introduction to Prescribed Fire in the Grassland Environment Course

We are once again delivering our Intro to PF course via Zoom, and this time we will be opening it up to anyone interested in joining. Please contact dminocher@meewasin.com for more details. To clarify, the course will run from 12:30-4pm each day from Aug. 10-13.

The Introduction to Prescribed Fire in the Grassland Environment course is a 15 hour, instructor delivered course that aims to prepare future fire practitioners for a basic, holding role on a prescribed fire. If you don’t know what that is, you’ll learn it along the way. In this course we explore the basics of planning a prescribed fire, strategies and tactics for carrying it out, protocols for communications and safety, as well as basic emergency planning and response for unplanned mishaps. The course consists of lectures, a case study and cumulates with an open-book multiple choice exam. Successful participants will receive a certification of completion from the Canadian Prairies Prescribed Fire Exchange. This does not qualify participants to conduct prescribed fires, but prepares you to assist on one, should the opportunity arise.
