The WUI Chief’s Guide Online Course is a free, self-paced training designed by fire chiefs for fire service leaders navigating the challenges of wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires.
Based on the Wildland-Urban Interface Chief’s Guide (2nd Edition) and developed in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service, the course provides practical strategies and tools to help departments strengthen wildfire preparedness and community resilience.
Through six interactive modules, participants explore key aspects of WUI wildfire management, including preparedness, mitigation, response, evacuation, and recovery. Knowledge checks, case studies, and planning tools help participants apply what they learn to their own departments and communities.
Participants who complete the course receive a certificate of completion.
