Wildland Fire

FRFES supports wildland fire protection and suppression to Fort Riley’s 110,000 acres. FRFES personnel are trained to the National Wildfire Coordinating Group’s (NWCG) standards that meet the new DOD Wildland Fire Policy. The installation has agreements with local, state and federal agencies to assist in combating wildfires. Our Prescribed Fire Program has reduced the threat of wildfires in the small and large arms range areas, by reducing the amount of accumulated vegetation. This ensures that military training continues without the loss of valuable training time and the shutdown of units waiting for fires to be suppressed. This also reduces the possibility of a large wildfire escaping the boundary of the installation.

Prevention Pays Off

One of the major highlights for the Brand are the annual Fire Prevention Week activities. Each school on post is visited by our personnel with a message of fire and general safety. With over 29,000 contacts annually, the message of fire and general safety makes a large impact on the public. Fire Prevention helps ensure that injuries and fire loss are being held at the negligible level. If we can help you identify potential life safety hazard, set up a training session, talk about children and fire, or answer any questions please contact us.
