SAWFIT: Your source for southern area fire training

The Southern Area Wildland Fire Interagency Training (SAWFIT) is a resource for finding wildland fire training opportunities and engine academies across the southeast. Run by the US Forest Service Region 8 Fire and Aviation program, SAWFIT is primarily focused on connecting wildland fire practitioners with NWCG training opportunities. The training calendar is updated regularly so check the site from time to time for updates. We hosted a video walkthrough of the SAWFIT site last year with Lindsey Curtin from the USFS R8. Check out the video here or watch the embed below.

The Southern Fire Exchange is not directly affiliated with SAWFIT. Please contact the SAWFIT coordinators directly if you have questions about the site.

The SAWFIT website includes both calendar and map views.
