Action Training Systems, Inc. presents a 7-part series, “Wildland Urban Interface for the
Structural Firefighter.” These titles present important information for the structural firefighter
who may be called upon to provide support or respond to wildland or wildland-urban interface
fire in their jurisdiction. Firefighting strategies used in the wildland and WUI environment are
much different than those used in structural firefighting and require unique knowledge and
skills.
Titles:
1. Wildland & WUI Firefighting: An Introduction
2. Wildland Fire Behavior & Forecasting
3. Managing Risk & Firefighter Safety
4. Tactical Resources & Equipment
5. Firefighting Strategies & Tactics
6. Structure Triage & Scene Priorities
7. WUI Safety & Hazard Control
All titles feature:
• Dynamic and engaging high-quality video that has been meticulously reviewed and
validated by leading subject matter experts
• Instructionally designed and simplified technical material that reinforces training
objectives
• Actual footage of firefighter response to some of the biggest wildland/WUI fires over
the last few years that help provide insight to the environmental effects on fire behavior
• Skills and requisite knowledge demonstrated by professional firefighters
• 3-D graphics used to illustrate important WUI concepts
This series can assist fire service agencies and members with meeting the training requirements
of NFPA 1051 and 1143, as well as USFA/FEMA’s Skills Crosswalk – Wildland Training for
Structural Firefighter. Referenced sources also include the National Wildfire Coordinating
Group (NWCG) and the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC).
The series will be an excellent companion to several fire service textbooks:
• Wildland Fire Fighter: Principles and Practice
• Ground Cover Fire Fighting for Structural Firefighters
• Firefighter’s Handbook on Wildland Firefighting: Strategy, Tactics, and Safety
Action Training Systems’ instructional content is proven to significantly increase learner
comprehension and the retention of information. This further strengthens the success of a safe
and effective emergency response.
