Wetzin’kwa is proud to partner with Hyland Backcountry to provide a public S100 Basic Wildfire Suppression course - free for members of the local community!

The most common fire training course in B.C. is the S-100, which is considered as basic fire suppression training for contract crews. The S-100 is required to meet the training requirements under Section 26.3.1 Forestry Operation Fire Fighting of B.C.’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. The intended audience for this course is forest industry workers and contract fire fighters.

The S-100 is a two-day, 16-hour course with both a classroom and a field component.
