Wildland Fire Safety and Training
Our Commitment
At the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands , the safety of our firefighters and the public is our highest priority. Wildland firefighting is an inherently high-risk profession, often performed in Utah’s most rugged terrain and extreme weather conditions. Because of these risks, FFSL maintains an unwavering commitment to a culture of safety, ensuring that every individual on the fireline is equipped with the training, tools, and leadership necessary to make "Safety First" a reality, not just a slogan.
Safety
Our fire program operates under the strict guidelines established by the National Wildland Fire Coordinating Group (NWCG). Every wildland firefighter is trained on the foundational principles of wildland firefighting. Safety policies within the division are reviewed annually and revised as necessary.

Training
FFSL is dedicated to developing highly skilled fire professionals. We seek to find and provide training opportunities for personnel with a path for continuous growth. Utah’s diverse landscapes require specialized knowledge. We work alongside our federal, local and tribal partners to ensure seamless coordination during incidents across jurisdictions.
FFSL works closely with the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy to offer courses and train the next generation of wildland firefighters in the state.
