Updating your fire experience keeps your qualifications current.  Please Click on the button below that has your home unit name on it to update your 2026 Fire/RX experience as we will not be taking the paper form or emails.  Each qualification experience requires a separate entry submitted for IQCS to be updated regardless of if on the same assignment. Do not submit multiple qualifications in the same experience entry, it will not be entered into IQCS. Thank you in advance!!

The continued ask; is that everyone that is red carded by NWOIFM complete this, there is a question at the bottom of the IQCS update form:  

*If you did not go on an any incidents this year and would like to receive a red card for 2026, please select the appropriate option below.

Did not go on any incidents this year but WANT a red card for 2027.

Did not go on any incidents this year, and DO NOT want a red card for 2027.

I am continuing to submit my fire experience and have provided WF/RX experience above for 2026.

Why is updating fire experience important?  A responder’s incident experience establishes prerequisite position experience for upward progression in the organization, updates currency, and provides the responder with a permanent record of qualification incident experience over time. The experience record is also used when documenting Position Task Book evaluations.  All positions in IQCS have currency requirements with maximum time allowed for maintaining currency having been established by agency policy. Currency for a position can be maintained by successful performance in that position within the given time frame, or successful performance in positions identified in the NWCG PMS 310-1, FSFAQG, IPQG, the Federal Wildland Fire Qualifications Supplement.
