The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) is seeking qualified individuals with backgrounds in wildfire mitigation, safety, and instruction to join a new corps of qualified instructors, in order to help teach the Wildland Fire Assessment Program (WFAP) curriculum and advocate for mitigation and safety in wildfire-prone regions across the U.S.

NVFC’s Wildland Fire Assessment Program Advocate Network

NVFC is looking for a variety of folks from across different topographies

NVFC is looking for a variety of folks from across different topographies, since wildfires look different among forests and grasslands/prairies. Instructor stipends and travel reimbursements are available.

For those who are interested in joining this Network, fill out the NVFC subject matter expert form by January 31, in order to be considered.

Kick-off meeting and advocate training

A kick-off meeting and advocate training will be held in Provo, Utah (UT), at the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy, on March 8-9, 2024.

All approved advocates will be invited to attend and the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) will cover their travel expenses.
