Pre-Season RT-130 Training for Colorado's Wildland Firefighters
Every wildland firefighter knows the importance of staying current with safety protocols, fire shelter deployment, and evolving fire behavior patterns. Our annual RT-130 refresher training in Summit County provides the required recertification for firefighters across Colorado's mountain communities, from the high peaks of Leadville to the valleys of Eagle County.
Located in Frisco at the heart of Colorado's high country, our training facility offers easy access for crews stationed throughout the central Rocky Mountains. Whether you're with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, a local fire district, or a private wildland firefighting contractor, our RT-130 course meets NWCG requirements for annual refresher training.
We schedule our wildland firefighter refresher training in early spring before fire season begins, allowing crews to complete their required certifications while workloads are manageable. Group bookings are available for entire crews or departments looking to certify together.
