NFTCA History

 

NFTCA is a national recognized wildland fire training and certifying company. Our primary goal is to provide the very best training to better prepare those individuals who put their lives on the line to protect our lives and property and natural resources.

 

The training standards for NFTCA have been modeled after the National Wildfire Coordinating Groups (NWCG) standards. All requirements for NFTCA instructors and Training will meet or exceed the minimum standard.

 

 

NFTCA has been training at the Philomath training center for the past 5 years, and has trained since 1992 under NWFF Environmental. We train approximately 2,500 firefighters per year throughout the state, in which 95% of the crews are Latino.

 

NFTCA uses one of the most secure fire line qualification and carding systems in the country. NFTCA is proudly affiliated with the firefighting program at Chemeketa Community College.

 

Our professional wildland fire trainers do not have any wildland contracts with any federal or state agency that would create a conflict of interest.

 

NFTCA can provide training for Basic Wildland Fire Fighter (FFT-2), Squad Boss (FFT-1), Crew Boss (SRB), and Strike Team Leader (STL).

 

Not only does NFTCA provide quality wildland fire training, but we also provide other classes such as, First Aid/CPR, HazMat & HazWoper training, structural fire training and confined space.
