"...the benefits that this program offers students as they find work in wildland fire may even open doors into other careers in Natural Resources, Forestry, Recreation, and many related fields as students are able to take the experience gained through these courses at Northern and build upon it elsewhere. The potential for success with an NMU wildland fire program is enhanced even more with the presence of incredibly professional and experienced instructors in the likes of Jeff Noble, Pete Glover, and Ben Wagner."

| "One of the first things our fire leadership does when reviewing applicants to the open fire jobs each year is look for completion of basic developmental fire courses. Those folks that attend your university will have a much better opportunity to be hired than most. An understanding of Basic Air Operations, and Interagency Incident Business Management are courses most of our seasonal workforce don’t receive until their second or third years."
