Course Description

The National Fire Academy has partnered with the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) Foundation to offer a new, premier wildland-urban interface (WUI) course: “Wildland-Urban Interface Risk Assessment & Mitigation for the Fire Service.” This two-day course (16 instruction hours) brings science-based fire engineering research and guidance to fire service personnel operating in WUI areas.

Drawing on codes and standards, the SFPE Foundation WUI Virtual Handbook, and many other resources, this course provides a basic overview of fire dynamics; fire modeling; human behavior in fire; structural and property hardening; fire protection systems; risk assessment methods, models, and training; stakeholder engagement; community notification and evacuation; codes, standards, and case studies; community hazard assessment, community design and protection; community education, messaging, and partnerships; and, infrastructure hardening.

If you have questions about this course, please contact Captain Burns at anthony.t.burns@dos.nh.gov.

Days of the week and locations are subject to change based on availability and program needs.

The National Fire Academy is located in Emmitsburg, Maryland and was created by the United States Federal Government as a fire training and education institution in 1973. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) operates the National Fire Academy (NFA).

The purpose of the academy is to provide useful training to small rural volunteer departments and full-time urban departments alike. Training for new firefighters all the way up to Chiefs is available across the United States as a result of the NFA.

The campus in Emmitsburg also hosts the National Fallen Firefighter’s Memorial.

The New Hampshire Fire Academy runs multiple NFA programs every year here within the State of New Hampshire, and participates in the Three State Weekend program with courses on the Maryland campus.
