CHANGE

D.1.5 (f) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

- Forest Service Fireline Safety Refresher Training Annual Fireline Safety Refresher Training (RT-130) is required for all positions as identified in FSFAQG and the Wildland Fire Qualifications System Guide (NWCG 310-1). Forest Service has extended this requirement to 13 months. Annual Fireline Safety Refresher Training is provided in order to recognize hazards and mitigate risk, maintain safe practices and to reduce accidents and near misses. The intent of the annual fireline safety refresher training is to focus suppression and prescribed fire personnel on operations and decision making issues related to incident safety. Annual Fireline Safety Refresher Training must include the following core topics: Core Topics Examples Avoiding Entrapments Use training and reference materials to study the risk management process as identified in the Incident Response Pocket Guide as appropriate to the participants, e.g., LCES, Standard Firefighting Orders, Eighteen Watch Out Situations, Wildfire Decision Support System (WFDSS) direction, Fire Management Plan priorities, etc. Current Issues Review and discuss identified “hot topics” as found on the current Wildland Fire Safety Training Annual Refresher (WFSTAR) website. Review forecasts and assessments for the upcoming fire season and discuss implications for firefighter safety. Fire Shelter Review and discuss last resort survival including escape and shelter deployment site selection. Conduct “hands-on” fire shelter inspections. Practice shelter deployments in applicable crew/module 18 configurations. Other Hazards and Safety Issues Choose additional hazard and safety subjects, which may include SAFENET, current safety alerts, site/unit specific safety issues and hazards. These core topics must be sufficiently covered to ensure that personnel are aware of safety concerns and procedures and can demonstrate proficiency in fire shelter deployment. The Forest Service has No minimum refresher training hour requirements. Core topics shown above should reflect the quality of the material used and not the quantity. Further guidance can be found in the most current version of the Interagency Standards for Fire and Fire Aviation Operations located on the Forest Service Fire & Aviation Management Publications website:
