Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX)

Implement a Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX) and cooperative burns to provide experiential training that builds robust local capacity for fire management and offers fire practitioners a holistic perspective while implementing treatments that support community and landscape objectives. Include an indigenous burn program component as well. TREX cooperative training would promote cooperative burning helping diverse partners leverage skills, resources and staff to maximize opportunities for outreach treatment and training. The training would include implementation of burns in priority areas with specific goals as determined by partners.
