NWCG Standards for Instructors of Annual Fireline Safety Refresher Training

In 2006, the NWCG also established minimum qualifications for instructors of refresher training.

  • Lead instructors must be a qualified single resource boss.
  • Unit instructors must be qualified firefighter type one (FFT1).
  • Adjunct instructors may be utilized to provide limited instruction in specialized knowledge and skills at the discretion of the lead instructor. They must be experienced, proficient and knowledgeable of current issues in their field of expertise.

For additional information please refer to the September 2007 NWCG Field Manager’s Course Guide (PMS 901-1) at http://www.nwcg.gov/pms/training/fmcg.pdf.
