The 2008 Wildland Firefighter class is scheduled for the weekends of June 21 and 28.

Upon completion of the 32-hour class, participants will have earned a “red card,” the nationally recognized wildland firefighter certification.

Firefighters can expand their skills in September with the Firefighter 1 structural class.

For more information, call the San Juan Island Fire Department, 378-5334.
