Camas Creek Rangeland Fire Protection Association

How great it is that local residents can now be trained to use farm and other city equipment to fight wildfires in the first crucial minutes to try to save lives and property. Many years ago a local resident could face criminal charges for doing this on public land that bordered their private property, but those times have changed.
This video shows one such training and certification in Dubois, Idaho, where local residents are planning with the BLM and Forest Service. These collaborations are known as Rangeland Fire Protection Associations (RFPA).
