Students came to the training with a wide variety of experience but all had a strong enthusiasm to learn.  Agencies included Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and local county Fire Departments.  The three teams were instructed in Incident Command procedures/processes and then performed exercises to practice what was taught to them.  On Wednesday, they were tested with a 5 hour exercise in which they were expected to document and display everything that they had learned the previous day.
