Wildland Fire Training Resources

Wildland fire crew members are Administratively Determined firefighters (AD’s). They are only called upon or hired during an actual wildland emergency. During fire season (early spring through early fall), AD’s may be sent throughout New Mexico, or to other states, to assist with wildland fire emergencies.
