A new dedicated wildfire training centre at @thompsonriversu will train future wildfire fighters 🚒 Wildland firefighting & training programs 🏢 New facility to train firefighters & communities 🔥 Fire science lab & enhanced fire predictive technology news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2024P…
@BowinnMa @thompsonriversu A new facility is nice. What’s really needed is a modern course curriculum and certification standards that are followed (instead of: “hey we’re staff-depleted, it’s super busy, you go fill this role you’ve not been trained for!”) Most IMT & aviation staff are under-qualified.
@BowinnMa @thompsonriversu It's disheartening to see a woman in a photo having to juggle tools in her hands . If only she had the option to bring her baby to work.
