After completion of the FSC 233, students may qualify for the following:

  • FSC 243: Wildland Fire Chainsaws, offered 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., April 20 – 24.

 

FSC 243 is an instructor-led course that provides introduction to the function, maintenance and use of internal combustion engine powered chainsaws, and their tactical wildland fire application. The course includes field exercise(s) that support entry level training for fire fighters with little to no previous experience in operating a chainsaw, and provides hands-on cutting experience in surroundings similar to firelinesituations.
