The Northern Michigan Fire Collaborative, Michigan Prescribed Fire Council, and Michigan DNR announces an upcoming opportunity for hands-on and annual wildland fire training.

The RT-130 Refresher Training (June 18th, 9am-4pm) is an annual requirement for wildland firefighters, reviewing essential skills, fire behavior, risk management, and current safety practices to maintain operational readiness.

These trainings support qualifications such as Firefighter Type 2, Prescribed Fire Crew Member, and Michigan Certified Prescribed Burn Manager.

This in-person training will be hosted at GTRLC’s Conservation Center located at 2846 3 Mile Rd N Traverse City, MI. An optional pack test will be offered by GTRLC and MPFC on Thursday from 2pm - 4pm following completion of the RT-130.

Early registration is encouraged due to limited space. To register, please fill out this form.
