Empire-Sauk Chapter: Basic Prescribed Fire Crew Training

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.
