NIC offering second wildfire training course

CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C.-North Island College is giving you a second chance to earn your wildfire training. The BC Wildfire Crew Member course is happening at the Campbell River campus starting next month.

It’s a 13-day program with this second run being added to meet demand as students prepare for work in the summer. It covers all aspects of fighting a wildfire, from hand tools to air support.

Get in touch with NIC for information on how to sign up for the wildfire certification course.
