This year’s Academy class offerings are once again closely coordinated with position qualification listings found in PMS 310-1 Wildland and Prescribed Fire Qualifications System Guide and/or those same requirements listed in FSH 5109.17 Fire and Aviation Management Qualifications Handbook. Before signing up for a course(s), the Academy's staff recommends that students take the following steps.

Consult with your supervisor to determine appropriate course(s) to take. Review the position and training requirements that govern your agency’s

fireline qualifications rating system. Become familiar with task book and on the job training requirements for

fireline positions. Shown below are some of the suggested training options firefighters may want to consider taking. The listed course groupings do not necessarily complete all of the required and additional training recommendations needed for these positions.

As in past years, all

Academy courses will

be filled on a first

come/first served basis.

While students are

welcome to choose any

course(s) or any

number of course(s)

they desire, it is

anticipated that this

year’s Academy course

groupings may result in

greater demand so early

registration is highly

recommended.

ALL HAZARD ICS POSITION

SPECIFIC TRAINING COURSES

Registration for the Incident Management Team Trainee positions is due by October 1, 2019

Incident Management Team Trainee Program

Trainee positions are open for several Command Staff, General Staff, Unit Leader and Manager positions

for a minimum of a five-day training program.

Trainees should have an open position task book for the

trainee position being requested;

Local Type 3 IMT’s may apply as a team for the five-day

training program to manage the Academy (space permitting);

All trainees will be supervised and trained by the qualified

Academy Incident Management Team.

There are TWO five-day training sessions to choose from at the Academy.

Trainee Session A: 10/17 – 10/21

Trainee Session B: 10/21 – 10/25

Trainees have the opportunity to work on:

Initial response phases of incident management including Agency Administrator’s Briefing;

Management of daily operational periods of an incident, conduct a transition with another

IMT/trainee and demobilization of an incident depending on the session attended; and

Trainees will work through the Planning “P” on a daily basis, conduct Section or Unit level

meetings, participate in Command and General Staff meetings, plan and develop the daily Incident

Action Plan and conduct daily Operational Period Briefings for incident management staff and

academy participants.

Each Trainee will perform tasks listed in their position task book under the direction of a Type 1, 2, or 3

qualified level trainer. Trainees will actively perform position responsibilities and will work in excess of

eight hours per day. Trainees are limited to one position task book per session.

Since there are a limited number of Trainee positions available per five-day training session, each

Trainee applicant will be evaluated before being accepted for a specific traineeship to ensure the

applicant has had the required:

ICS classroom training;

Field incident experience and position task book for the Trainee position applied for; and

Listing of incident/event experience, preferably in the ICS function or position being applied for.

If the Academy evaluation determines the applicant needs additional training or experience, we will

provide that direction to the applicant and assist the applicant in receiving additional training. If you are

accepted as a Trainee, your academy trainer will contact you and begin designing your individual training

program with you directly along with the assistance of the Academy’s Training Specialist.

Please do not make any trip reservations until you receive an acceptance for your desired trainee

position.

$200 per 5 day session for each Trainee $50 per day for each Observer

The Academy’s goal for all Trainees is that they receive actual incident management exposure with

qualified trainers, so that Trainees have the ability to advance themselves technically, gain confidence in

the ability to perform their ICS positions and be better prepared for their next incident response with their

home unit.

Another option for individuals who do not meet the “trainee” requirements listed above would be to

register as an “OBSERVER” to gain more knowledge and experience in the Incident Command

System.

Individuals registering as an “OBSERVER” will be assigned to the Liaison Officer who will arrange for

the individual to observe the management of an incident under the incident command system, including

operational briefings, command and general staff meetings, unit level meetings, strategy meetings,

planning meetings and development and preparation of a

daily incident action plan.

No position task books will be worked on by individuals registering as an “OBSERVER.”
