Wildland Firefighting, University Certificate
A university certificate in Wildland Firefighting by the Fire, Prevention, Protection Sciences Program, in partnership with Geography, Homeland Security, and Wildlife Management. This certificate prepares future public safety professionals interested in broadening their knowledge and professional expertise in fire prevention; fire behavior and combustion; fire and emergency scene operations; disaster preparedness and response; environmental land use planning, geographic information systems, fire ecology and management; and principles of wildlife management. This knowledge base will be useful not only to those public safety professionals who choose to work for traditional outdoor public safety organizations such as the Department of Interior, U.S. Forest Service, State Fish and Wildlife agencies and National Parks, but also for those who work in traditional public safety organizations in rural communities.
