Basic Firefighter Training (S-130) offered at Cottonwood Gulch Basecamp

The Forest Stewards Guild, in cooperation with Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions, is offering the required field-component of S-130, Basic Firefighter Training. The intent of S-130 is to train new firefighters in basic firefighting skills. The field component may be arduous in nature and capacity will be capped at the first fifteen (15) registrants.
