The project aims at enabling the development, evaluation, production and dissemination of a new European-wide, multi-lingual on-line training resource. The background is a critical gap in the training of fire service personnel in the suppression of forest and other wildland fires. To assist in addressing the current skills gap a multi-lingual on-line training resource, the "European Wildland Fire Management Handbook", will be developed by a trans-European partnership of research and training institutions, fire services employees, and employers.
