This location allows for a better student learning experience,due to location,natural topography,and real-life training conditions. Wildland Fire Training at TCC Beginning our second year of a renewed schedule of Wildland Fire classes at TCCD, we have been fortunate to secure instructors with a vast amount of real-world wildiand fire experience. These instructors are certified by both the Texas Forest Service and the National Wildfire Coordinating Group, which allows the Public Safety Training Center(PSTC)to offer many high-demand courses for wildiand firefighters across the north Texas area. Several of these classes involve a combination of classroom and field day exercises. The field day requirements for the classes range from one to three field days,depending upon the class. During these field days,the students will review and practice the skills and concepts learned in the classroom portion. This physical activity will involve using personal protective equipment (PPE) and tools used within the industry while building fire lines, reading weather conditions, performing firing operations, and extinguishing fires as required. These activities are critical to providing an experiential training event in a safe and controlled learning environment. Nature Center and Refuge The City of Fort Worth Parks and Recreation Department owns and operates the 3600-acre Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge, located north of Hwy. 199, west of Loop 820. With over 20 miles of hiking trails,the Nature Center is one of the largest city-owned nature centers in the United States. This wildlife sanctuary and nature preserve has been used by the Fort Worth Fire Department in wildland fire training in the past and Is conveniently located less than twenty minutes from the PSTC on the Northwest Campus. It is our desire to form an agreement with the Nature Center so that our students can benefit from training in this area. Benefits Gained • A safer training environment for our students and instructors • A superior learning environment • A secure location • A close working relationship with the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge and their personnel. • A location close enough to campus to hold classroom sessions on campus before moving the field day exercises to the Nature Center. Revenue/Expense Summary In return for using the Nature Center,TCC agrees to allow(2)two Nature Center employees to attend each of the Wildland Fire classes we offer. Team and Key Roles Pat English,the FSTC Coordinator of Technical Rescue and Special Operations will work directly with the Fort Worth Nature Center. Among our wildland Instructors is Cody Stilwell,a member of the Fort Worth Fire Department and the lead of their wildland fire team. Cody is intimately familiar with the Nature Center and already has a good personal relationship with the director. Partners and Resources • TCC Public Safety Training Center • City of Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge • Fort Worth Fire Department • Texas Forest Service • National Wildfire Coordinating Group Timellne for implementation Of the 26 Wildland classes we will offer in 2022,six have field days that will require an area such as the Nature Center to perform the skills and exercises. A simple MOU can be put into effect prior to the first scheduled class. Summary TCC and the PSTC already have a great relationship with the city of Fort Worth and their fire and police departments. This arrangement would further solidify this partnership while allowing our students to experience better,safer,and more convenient wildland fire classes In the future. This step will further the standing of TCC and the PSTC within the wildland fire community and will elevate the status of our growing wildland fire curriculum.
