A wildland or forest firefighter is a person trained to fight and help prevent wildfires. Wildland firefighters work in forests, grasslands and other outdoor places where wildfires are likely to occur. They usually work in teams with other firefighters.

The National Wildfire Coordinating Group provides national leadership to enable interoperable wildland fire operations among federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial partners.

Now, agencies can initiate Certification Task Books, aligning SFT with CICCS and NWCG practices. Certification Task Books are valid for five (5) years, periodically updated based on NFPA Standards changes. Candidates and Fire Chiefs (or Authorized Designees) must confirm updates before submission.

All wildland firefighters must pass the Arduous Work Capacity Test once a year to remain current. Timelines can vary by agency, be sure to check with your local department to learn their specific requirements.
