Over ten years ago, a group of emergency responders from varied response disciplines, founded the Colorado Wildfire Academy and Great Plains Wildfire College realizing the need to provide National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG), Incident Command System (ICS), and other quality emergency management courses. Since this inception these colleges and academies have delivered training to over 15,000 students. After the events of September 11^th, 2001, the board has constantly modified the curriculum to meet the ever changing requirements of fire, emergency medical, law enforcement, and other emergency management agencies and personnel. The value of incident management training has been reinforced numerous times with unprecedented fire seasons, the Columbia Shuttle Recovery and Hurricane’s Ivan, Katrina and Rita respectively. To address the future training needs of emergency management, the board voted to adopt a single moniker to express our long-term commitment to a diverse curriculum of quality training. The Colorado Wildland Fire and Incident Management Academy (CWFIMA) will become the over–all umbrella of the Academy and College. We believe to sustain the quality and diversity of education, the CWFIMA more correctly describes the basis of our updated mission.

Our Mission:
Promote safety and integrate the efforts of local, State, Federal, Tribal, private-sector, and non-governmental emergency response organizations by utilizing the Incident Command System and facilitating a national approach to domestic incident management by providing both the cognitive and hands-on incident management knowledge, instructed by the nations brightest authorities.

The next Summer Academy will be held at Western State College May-June, 2008 in Gunnison. The next Winter Academy will be held January, 2009 in Sterling. The registration is not active, however they can be sent by FAX, phone or e-mail prior to the web registration activation; Summer 2008 information has been posted on the brochure ONLY. Please submit registrations prior to April 1, 2008. The Colorado Wildland Fire & Incident Management Academy has established the Paul Gleason Scholarship in Paul's memory.
