Perspectives: Preparing the Next Generation Through Student Fire Associations

Perspectives: Preparing the Next Generation Through Student Fire Associations

Summary

Workforce development and the education of the next generation of fire and fuels professionals is a key component of successful future management. For some people, student fire associations have played a key role in their professional development. Northern Rockies Fire Science Network talked with members of two organizations (University of Montana's Fire Club and University of Idaho's SAFE Club) to get their perspectives on the benefits and potential of student fire associations in the region. 

The inspiration for this came in part from the Passing the Torch report.
