Bridger Fire Inc. has incorporated a training program into its operations to provide a higher standard of instruction and a quality-learning environment that is not readily available to today’s firefighters. Courses will range from 100 to 400 level classes, Prescribed Fire courses and specialized hands on programs.

Training classes may also include management techniques, administration, communications and related topics. Bridger Fire is interested in providing additional training classes to those customers who may require a specialized program to meet their individual needs. The opportunity to provide on site training classes for a customer is also available.

Bridger Fire Inc. operates a training program under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Northern Rockies Coordinating Group which sanctions private companies training of individuals in wildland and prescribed fire. This agreement allows us to provide training that meets NWCG standards contained in the Wildland and Prescribed Fire Qualifications System Guide 310-1. The MOU allows us to provide training of NWCG courses and issue NWCG Certificates.

The Training Schedule will be posted and released through our advertising media and our web site (www.bridgerfire.com) no later than November 1st. This schedule will be a tentative one that may fluctuate with the company’s priorities and our customers’ training needs.
