Training

Training is a Valuable Investment

The Training Committee’s mandate is to plan and implement an aggressive and effective Compact program designed to provide pertinent and timely training in forest fire management between Compact member agencies.

In addition to classroom and field training, the committee also organizes and facilitates conferences like the 2005 GLFFC International Wildfire Simulation Conference.
