Wildfire Academy 2009 Course Offerings
In 2009 the New York Wildfire and Incident Management Academy offered 29 courses in a wide variety of areas resulting in the Red Card certification of approximately 50 wildland firefighters and the re-certification of approximately 20 firefighters. Additional training certification was completed in the following classes: Crew Boss, Advanced Wildland Firefighter, Powersaws, Incident Information and the Incident Command System.
"The courses were extremely successful and the New York Academy contributed to expanding the pool of certified resources that will be available for the 2010 wildland fire season, and to respond to other national emergency response efforts as many of our instructors, overhead team members and students have done over the past year," Academy Coordinator Charles T. Hamilton said.
