Wildland Fire Crew

Watch us in action on YouTube!

 

 

We are a student organization whose members have completed training and certification to fight wildfires. We go on calls with the Virginia Department of Forestry and the U.S. Forest Service within Virginia and beyond.

If you're interested in joining us, sample FOR 2514, Wildland Fire Ecology and Management, the class in which you can receive training and get your "red card." This class is offered both spring and fall semesters in the Forestry Department of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources.
