2 This year s Academy class offerings are once again closely coordinated with position qualification listings found in PMS Wildland and Prescribed Fire Qualifications System Guide and/or those same requirements listed in FSH Fire and Aviation Management Qualifications Handbook. Before signing up for a course(s), the Academy's staff recommends that students take the following steps. Consult with your supervisor to determine appropriate course(s) to take. Review the position and training requirements that govern your agency s fireline qualifications rating system. Become familiar with task book and on the job training requirements for fireline positions. Shown below are some of the suggested training options firefighters may want to consider taking. The listed course groupings do not necessarily complete all of the required and additional training recommendations needed for these positions. As in past years, all Academy courses will be filled on a first come/first served basis. While students are welcome to choose any course(s) or any number of course(s) they desire, it is anticipated that this year s Academy course groupings may result in greater demand so early registration is highly recommended.

Trainees should have an open position task book for the trainee position being requested; Local Type 3 IMT s may apply as a team for the five-day training program to manage the Academy (space permitting); All trainees will be supervised and trained by the qualified Academy Incident Management Team. There are TWO five-day training sessions to choose from at the Academy. Trainee Session A: 10/18 10/22 Trainee Session B: 10/22 10/26 Trainees have the opportunity to work on: Initial response phases of incident management including Agency Administrator s Briefing; Management of daily operational periods of an incident, conduct a transition with another IMT/trainee and demobilization of an incident depending on the session attended; and Trainees will work through the Planning P on a daily basis, conduct Section or Unit level meetings, participate in Command and General Staff meetings, plan and develop the daily Incident Action Plan and conduct daily Operational Period Briefings for incident management staff and academy participants. Each Trainee will perform tasks listed in their position task book under the direction of a Type 1, 2, or 3 qualified level trainer. Trainees will actively perform position responsibilities and will work in excess of eight hours per day. Trainees are limited to one position task book per session. Since there are a limited number of Trainee positions available per five-day training session, each Trainee applicant will be evaluated before being accepted for a specific traineeship to ensure the applicant has had the required: ICS classroom training; Field incident experience and position task book for the Trainee position applied for; and Listing of incident/event experience, preferably in the ICS function or position being applied for. If the Academy evaluation determines the applicant needs additional training or experience, we will provide that direction to the applicant and assist the applicant in receiving additional training.

Please do not make any trip reservations until you receive an acceptance for your desired trainee position.

10 The Academy s goal for all Trainees is that they receive actual incident management exposure with qualified trainers, so that Trainees have the ability to advance themselves technically, gain confidence in the ability to perform their ICS positions and be better prepared for their next incident response with their home unit. Another option for individuals who do not meet the trainee requirements listed above would be to register as an OBSERVER to gain more knowledge and experience in the Incident Command System. Individuals registering as an OBSERVER will be assigned to the Liaison Officer who will arrange for the individual to observe the management of an incident under the incident command system, including operational briefings, command and general staff meetings, unit level meetings, strategy meetings, planning meetings and development and preparation of a daily incident action plan. No position task books will be worked on by individuals registering as an OBSERVER. $200 per 5 day session for each Trainee $50 per day for each Observer All trainee positions are limited to two (2) or less per session at this time.
