The 6th Annual Nebraska Wildland Fire Academy will be April 13-21, 2013, at Fort Robinson State Park near Crawford.
The Academy provides high-quality fire and incident management training at little or no cost, and utilizes the expertise of local fire officers to ensure the fire training needs of western Nebraska and the surrounding region are met.
The Academy continues to grow each year, both in numbers of students and in classes offered. Last year more than 250 students from seven states and 43 federal and state agencies, fire departments and other local agencies attended the nine-day event.
Registration is just $20 per student per day, with lodging as little as $25/night and meals for $5 each. To encourage early registration, students who register prior to March 22, 2013 will receive a 25% discount ($15/day)!
For more information, see the Nebraska Wildland Fire Academy brochure, online registration page (now live!), or www.Facebook.com/NebraskaWildlandFireAcademy.
