20th Annual SMWA Classes
COME CELEBRATE! March (TBA)- 2023 
|
SMWA's mission is “To annually provide the best and most efficient schedule of courses to graduate, support and expand the knowledge of qualified wildland firefighters through the Single Resource Level (ie. Engine Boss) while also offering a variety of community outreach courses relating to personal safety and the expansion of the public’s knowledge of the Firefighting/EMS field”.
COVID-19 COMPLIANCE STATEMENT: While continuing to offer training for our Mission Essential Firefighting personnel, we have modified our Academy structure and will continue to monitor the current guidance from the CDC and the New Mexico Department of Health and NM Governor’s Public Health Orders, applicable at the time of the Academy. A few examples of such accommodation are: providing “learning pods” with smaller groups of people, spacially distanced. We will not have a general session this year and will not have vendors or a centralized registration area. Attendees will be given directions to their classroom locations and will report directly there. Learning materials and supplies will be provided at the individual sites around town. We will not provide prepared food but will have pre-packaged snacks and drinks. We will provide N95 masks and sanitization supplies at every classroom location. Every classroom will be cleaned on a daily basis by our existing janitorial staff who is currently providing COVID safe sanitizing practices for our workforce. NM Health.org: https://cv.nmhealth.org/
