• Technical Specialist Positions

  See: NWCG Standards for Wildland Fire Position Qualifications, PMS 310-1 > Position Qualifications Required Elements

  • Technical Specialists are personnel with specialized skills gained through educational degree programs or industry training of established standards. These personnel may perform the same duties during an incident that they perform in their regular job and may have supplemental training in order to use their specialized skills when assigned to wildland fire incidents.

    Although position codes have been assigned to Technical Specialist positions that can be used within the ICS, no minimum qualifications have been established by NWCG. Standards for Technical Specialist qualifications are determined by the agency.
