Fire Training

Welcome to the Department of Sustainability and Environment's online learning website

  • The Department of Sustainability & Environment provides wildfire training and assessment services to staff from the Networked Emergency Organisation (DSE, Parks Victoria, Department of Primary Industries, VicForests and Melbourne Water) as well as contracted incident personnel, emergency services volunteers and occasionally, members of other fire agencies.

    We conduct our training and assessment programs using various learning techniques which enable our students to develop the required wildfire knowledge and skills in a supportive learning environment.

    If there is anything you think could be done to improve this site please us know. Your comments and suggestions will help develop our 'online' fire training initatives.
