More Information:
What’s a “Red Card”? The Red Card is part of the fire qualifications management system used by all federal wildland fire management agencies, as well as many state and private agencies. All firefighters assigned to a fire being managed by a federal agency, such as the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of IndianAffairs, or US Fish & Wildlife are required to have a Red Card. The Red Card functions similar to a drivers' license, showing the holder of the card has completed all the course work and training required to hold a particular position. This basic course, together with the “pack”fitness test, will get you into the Red Card system (covers S-190, S-130, L-180).
