Prescribed Fire Crew Training

Saturday, March 22 – 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Location: Rosemary Garfoot Public Library, 2107 Julius St., Cross Plains, WI

The Empire-Sauk Chapter of The Prairie Enthusiasts is offering basic training for those interested in prescribed fire. This 1-day class is for people without previous experience in prescribed fire or who want a refresher. The training will follow the guidelines of the Wisconsin Prescribed Fire Council. Successful participation in this training, plus attending a field training session, plus helping on two TPE burns as an apprentice, provides qualifications to be a new crew member on TPE burns. Class taught by Rob Baller, Scott Fulton, Andy Sleger, and Rob Schubert of The Prairie Enthusiasts.

Please note that this does NOT meet the in-field requirement of prescribed burn training; this class meets the classroom requirement of the training.

Advance registration is required. Registration fee is $30 and there is a limit of 30 registrants.
