S-339 Division Supervisor Course Development

The Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) is extending an invitation to interested parties to provide proposals for the development of a national S-339 Division Supervisor in-person training course. This course will be developed based on the existing national S-339 Division Supervisor training standard. The Division Supervisor position is a critical role in the management of large-scale wildland fires and is in high demand for interagency deployment across Canada. Although a national S-339 Division Supervisor training standard has recently been developed, standardized course materials to support its delivery do not currently exist. The successful proponent will develop a standardized national training course based on the S-339 Division Supervisor training standard. This includes the development of instructor and participant materials, practical exercises, simulations, and supporting resources required for course delivery. One provincial wildland fire agency has delivered a Division Supervisor course for several years, and its existing course materials provide a strong foundation for this project. Where appropriate, these materials should be reviewed, adapted, and expanded to align with the national training standard and reflect a broad, interagency operational perspective applicable across Canadian jurisdictions. The completed course is expected to be designed for delivery over a period of three to four days.
