Statewide Beneficial Fire Program

Beneficial Fire Trainings

Did you know that the Watershed Center has a team of beneficial fire practitioners dedicated to increasing the use of beneficial fire across the State of California through training, coaching, and mentoring?

Andrea and José are our Prescribed Fire Training Specialists. They travel all over the State working with community groups to scale up the use of good fire.

Hannah is our Northern Sierra Beneficial Fire Training Coordinator. She provides access to training and supports inclusive burn opportunities in 8 counties in northeastern California.

Our team hosts hands-on beneficial fire trainings, supports our partners during burns with leadership and mentorship, and travels the State with two Type 6 demonstration fire engines. 

The Rx Fire program works with our statewide partners on:

  • Supporting new and existing Prescribed/Beneficial/Intentional Fire Training Exchange (TREX) events

  • Developing local Prescribed Burn Associations
