Get Ready Alaska - DFFP Training with Carrie Hale and Nathan Zalewski

During Alaska's summer months wildfires are a common occurrence. The Division of Forestry and Fire Protection are tasked with fighting these fires. In order to do so in a safe and effective way they must train large numbers of seasonal workers to work as a team. DFFP Carrie Hale and Nathan Zalewski join Get Ready Alaska to discuss Alaska's wildland fire training program, ways people can become firefighters, and the many disciplines needed by the wildland fire service.
