2020 Pennsylvania Wildland Fire Academy

It is unfortunate that we have to make this announcement in regards to our annual academy, but due to COVID-19 virus concerns Lock Haven University has been forced to cancel all on-campus events through the end of summer. As a result, the 2020 Pennsylvania Wildland Fire Academy has been canceled.

This means that there will be no basic firefighter training offered and will, unfortunately, prevent any person new to the program this year from participating in the Wildland Fire Crew for 2020.

Hopefully, 2021 will bring a return to normalcy and with that the high-quality training opportunities you have come to expect and deserve. Thank you to all for your interest in this valuable and respected program.

The Division looks forward to continued support from all crew members, whether veteran or new prospects, as the program moves forward. Contact Mike Becker with any questions, problems, or concerns you may have.
