"Wildland engine modules make up the backbone of initial attack fire suppression resources across the nation,” said Incident Commander, Eric Haberstick. This training helps to ensure the effective use of engines for managing fires safely and efficiently during both initial and extended attack." The workshop is an intensive week-long course designed to enhance the knowledge, skills and abilities of firefighters currently working in Engine Operator positions within the Great Basin area. Established in 2002, the intent of the workshop is to teach the safe and effective use of engines in the wildland fire environment, and to provide an opportunity for hands-on training. “Successful interagency partnerships such as these are prevalent in the firefighting community because wildfire knows no boundaries. Working together enables land management agency to better leverage resources and respond efficiently to emergency situations,” said Haberstick.
