Either Sink or Swim: Going beyond the Basic Firefighter Training for Fire Qualified
Archaeologists
• Symposium 2 (Victoria South); Thursday, 1:45 PM
To work on a fire, under the Incident Command System, it is required that all personnel must
attend basic introductory courses to qualify as a Firefighter Type 2 (FFT2), pass a physical exam
and a rigorous pack test to be on the fire line. However, for most fire positions from hand crews
to dozer bosses, this is just the beginning of their training and mentorship into the fire
organization and the Incident Management System. For archaeologists and other resources
specialists, however, once they have passed the basic FFT2 training and pack tests, they often
work as single resources sent out to the most dangerous locations on a fire without the benefit of
mentoring or additional training straight. This paper discusses the issues and dangers
surrounding this practice and proposes a few possible ways to address this problem.

Federal Wildland Fire Policy, Guidance, and Direction: How Does This Affect Your NPS
Cultural Resource Program?
• Symposium 2 (Vctoria South); Thursday, 1:15 PM
Current wildland fire management policy is rooted in the 1995 Federal Wildland Fire
Management Policiy, and was affirmed in 2001. Several interpretation/guidance documents have
been produced to clarify procedures and intent of those 1995 and 2001 documents, including the
most recent Guidance for Implementation of Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy Memo ,
issued in February of 2009. This 2009 memo includes changes to terminology, and provides
broader management options for objectives to manage wildland fires. These management
changes have the potential to affect cultural resources; this presentation will provide pertainent
information for planning and responding to fire on federal lands.
