The NWCG Incident Operations Subcommittee (IOSC) has updated the NWCG Position Task Book for Firefighter Type 1 (Squad Boss) (FFT1), PMS 311‑14.

The FFT1 Position Task Book transitioned to the Next Generation (Next Gen PTB) format in June 2025 as part of the Incident Performance and Training Modernization effort. Since that release, IOSC has received feedback from the wildland fire community about the coding on one of the tasks.

Task #13 has now been updated to include the option for evaluation in a simulation.

For more information see IOSC Memorandum 26‑01: Transition Plan for Updates to the NWCG Position Task Book for Firefighter Type 1 (Squad Boss) (FFT1), PMS 311‑14.

The Alberta government says it’s well positioned to tackle this year’s wildfire season, with hundreds of firefighters already hired, money available to support municipalities, and a fire service training grant.

Alberta says more than 550 seasonal firefighters have already been hired, with hundreds more available through contracts and mutual aid agreements if they are needed.

This year, municipalities facing wildfires are eligible to receive $125,000 to support their response when they call Alberta Wildfire for help. The province is encouraging communities to ask for help sooner through that mutual aid incentive pilot.

Prescribed broadcast burns are effective tools in preventing large, destructive wildfires. These planned burns are carefully managed to reduce smoke impacts and improve wildland health.
