Most wildfires are human-caused, which makes prevention and investigation two of the most effective tools there are. Prevention education teams go into communities during high fire danger to change behavior before the next start; investigators find where and how a fire started, so the cause can be addressed and, when it's a crime, prosecuted.
KDT staffs both to the positions in the NWCG Prevention & Investigation area, under the agency's direction and to its qualification requirements.
