Pack Tests for 2021 Season, NEW as of 12/1/2020
Everyone who is planning on going out on wildfires in 2021 will need to pack test prior to getting a red card. This is different than we previously thought, originally we had been told that we would have carryover of old pack test/red cards due to Covid-19. We now know that EVERYONE will need to take the pack test if they are going to actively go out on wildfires outside the state of Iowa in 2021.
Due to Covid-19, we will not have packs for participants to use, you will need to provide your own pack or vest to use during the pack test. We will have scales at the pack test locations to weight prior to the test. We anticipate doing the shelter deployment exercises at the pack tests as well, bring a face mask for that portion of the day. Please arrive 15 minutes early to the pack test to do both the shelter deployment exercise and the paperwork for the pack test. Pack test sites will be posted on the training link and some are within the PDF's below.
