Supervisors are encouraged to initiate the FFT1/ICT5 taskbook for students prior to attending this class in accordance with the May, 2008 PMS 310-1 Wildland Fire Qualification System Guide:
“Position task books (PTBs) can be initiated prior to attendance and successful completion of
Required Training. However, Trainees cannot become fully qualified for the position until
Required Training has been successfully completed. A Trainee must be qualified in the
prerequisite position(s) before a PTB can be initiated. Upon satisfactory prerequisite position
performance, the next level PTB may be initiated once agency certification is documented on the
PTB Agency Certification page.”
We are pleased to supplement the NWCG course content with S-191,
Introduction to Fire Signature Predictions, based upon the work of
Doug Campbell. Each student receives a copy of “The Campbell
Prediction System” book.
