Learning to Burn Prescribed Fire Training Project

The Round Valley Indian Tribes will host a training for Tribal members from RVIT and other Tribes by Torchbearr, who will provide instruction of Basic Fire School to NWCG standards, as well as consultation with RVIT to establish and build capacity for a fire and fuels program. The Basic Fire School provided will be open to (and restricted to) Tribal members in the NCRP service area. Thus, the training instruction provided by Torchbearr will benefit other local tribal capacity building efforts and programs as well. Torchbearr instructors include two NWCG qualified fire instructors who also bring their many decades of experience suppressing and igniting fires to this class. Consultation will be focused as directed by RVIT leadership, including how to meet national BIA standards for training, qualifications, and equipment and how to build and navigate relationships with state and federal agencies.
