Date: September 28-30th, 2018 Location: U.S. National Fire Academy 16825 South Seton Avenue Emmitsburg, MD 21727-8998   Registration Fee: $77.00 (includes all meals and fees) Courses Offered Who Protects Firefighters from Firefighters? (W0349) Command and Control of Wildland Urban Interface Fire Operations for the Structural Chief Officer (W0612) New Fire Chief: Contemporary Issues (W0762) Executive Skills Series: Exercising Leadership Within Communities (W0520) Introduction to Unified Command for All-Hazard Incidents (W0609) Best Practices in Community Risk Reduction (W0635) When taking courses at the National Fire Academy including our Tennessee/Virginia State Weekend you will be required to furnish the required identification before being allowed to enter the facility. This enforcement requires students from Virginia to furnish another form of ID other than a state issued drivers license/ID Card for access to the facility. Other forms of identification include a valid Federal PIV (Personal Identity Verification) card, military ID (active, retired, reserve, dependent, civilian employee), U.S. passport, U.S. passport card, or Transportation Worker’s Identification Card (TWIC). Individual criminal background (NCIC) checks can be performed, but will require submission of personally identifiable information from the state that would be responsible for collecting and transmitting that information. Possessing a U.S. passport would eliminate the need for repeat NCIC checks upon each visit to campus. State Enhanced Driver’s Licenses (EDLs) designated as acceptable border-crossing documents by DHS under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative are acceptable for official federal purposes such as accessing a Federal facility or boarding a commercial aircraft. Individual agency policies may still apply.
