Oregon Agricultural Wildfire Training
Enrollment options
The course covers how to develop emergency action plans, powerline and fireline safety, defensible space, fire control, the 10 firefighting orders and 18 watch out situations, and fire behavior. This course is designed to meet training required by Oregon OSHA for employees and employers who may engage in suppressing wildfires on their operation. The course also covers what the new OSHA requirements are and tries to add clarity to what producers need to do. Even if you do not have employees this course covers good material for living and working in rural eastern Oregon. In addition, the goal is to go over best management practices to keep your operation and employees safe and informed. A course certificate is available at the end of this course after completing a brief exam and the course evaluation.
