Prescribed Fire Personnel (NWCG Prescribed Fire Positions)

Prescribed fire is how land managers reduce fuels before the next wildfire does it for them. Every burn runs on a written plan and needs a qualified Burn Boss in charge, often a Prescribed Fire Manager coordinating several burns, and enough holding resources to keep the fire inside its lines.
KDT supplies the positions in the NWCG Prescribed Fire area and the resources behind them: hand crews, engines, water tenders, firing and holding personnel, and the logistics for a burn window that can open with little notice. We work to the agency's burn plan and qualification requirements.
