Targhee Fire staff recently completed training for regional fire staff at Naval Base Kitsap in-person and with a video link.
The course, National Fire Academy F-610, Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) for the Structural Company Officer, was coordinated by Washington State Chief Deputy State Fire Marshal, Howard Scartozzi and taught at Naval Base Kitsap.
Wildland Urban Interface Fires (WUI), such as the devastating January 2025 incidents in the Los Angeles, California area, are some of the most dangerous and challenging wildfires that responders can face.
Interdisciplinary training, such as WUI, builds an additional veneer of regional and national resources for large-scale incidents, such as WUI fires, that can quickly exhaust local emergency resources.
