Frontline Legacies is where our journey began, rooted in a deep commitment to elevating the voices and lived experiences of those who work with fire. We have built our reputation on preserving the history of the fireline and showcasing the deep expertise of wildland fire professionals—transforming these narratives into a powerful force for global influence. Through initiatives like our Wildland Fire Digital Storytelling Micro-grants, Backbone Scholarships, Kyburz Artist Exchange, and historical preservation, we ensure that the insights of those on the ground inform modern policy, technology, and global discourse. By investing in the creative expression and professional recognition of practitioners, we honor the legacy of the workforce while equipping the next generation to lead with courage and integrity.
We are building the definitive global platform for wildland fire professionalization. Utilizing cutting-edge technology to deliver immersive, localized, and relevant training, our program covers the entire lifecycle of fire—from prevention and suppression to long-term recovery. We are democratizing access to the world’s most advanced fire management knowledge, moving beyond static guides to provide a dynamic learning experience that evolves with the landscape. Whether you are mastering foundational skills or stepping into complex leadership, we provide the pathways to ensure your qualifications are recognized and your expertise is trusted anywhere in the world.
Wildfire International is anchored by a dedicated headquarters in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California designed to serve as a home for reflection and the deep collaboration required to meet the challenges of modern wildfire. We believe that resilience is built when global leaders and experienced practitioners have a space to step back from the front lines, fostering an environment where innovation is shaped by lived experience. This sanctuary is built to support transformative leadership, providing a quiet setting where expertise is shared across borders and connections are strengthened. As we continue to develop this campus, our focus remains on creating a space that honors those on the ground and sustains the collective strength of the global fire community.

We believe that wildfire resilience is most effective when it is grounded in local reality and practitioner expertise. Wherever we work, we strive to integrate with existing local initiatives and efforts to ensure that our programs create seamless, impactful outcomes that respect the community's knowledge and recovery. At our headquarters, we utilize these place-based solutions as a living laboratory to inform our global work, ensuring our systems remain deeply rooted in practice and informed by the realities of living in fire-adapted landscapes.
