 Wildland fire personnel come from various backgrounds and education levels. Recognizing and promoting talent is the duty of a wildland fire leader. Although the individual is ultimately in charge of their growth and development, the wildland fire leader owes it to the employee, the agency, and society to care for those around him or her and provide a great service to the greater good.
