RTI Training in Canada
In order to better protect Canadians from this growing threat, the IAFF and the Government of Canada have partnered to offer the IAFF’s Responding to the Interface (RTI) training that prepares fire fighters to safely and effectively defend interface communities from the unique dangers wildland fires pose (pictured: Kamloops RTI Class of 2023).
In late 2023 and early 2024, 350 Canadian fire fighters received IAFF RTI training through a successful pilot project funded by the Government of Canada. In April 2024, the Canadian Government extended the pilot project with increased funding to train additional fire fighters across Canada to protect interface communities. This training is available at NO COST to municipal fire departments thanks to the partnership between the IAFF and the Government of Canada.
