The wildland urban interface (WUI) is a growing danger for engine companies across our nation.  Incidents in the WUI are creating devastating losses and complex fire environments for our response personnel to operate in.  The growth of communities into fire-prone environments coupled with variation in climate have led to WUI incidents occurring in areas of our nation not historically impacted by these types of fires.  This class will discuss concepts, topics, and operation-based safety considerations for firefighters working in the WUI.  Participants will be exposed to the obvious and subtle dangers of fire behavior in the WUI and how to recognize the potential and identify the "Wildland Flow Path." This class will assist in the development of skills necessary to proactively engage in fire suppression without placing responders in the flow path during critical fire behavior.
