Today we are honored to announce the launch of theFireWiki German and Spanish projects. These are similar to the English, but they are specific to the cultures and countries of these languages. We need volunteers to grow these projects and expand them. We've also added a meta page to help bring all this together. If you would like to get involved in the German project go to de.thefirewiki.org. For the Spanish project, go to es.thefirewiki.org. If you have a moment, take a look at them and give us your comments.

The Open Fire Academy is joining forces with Haywood Community College to provide some of the most advanced training and education. Working together we are able to provide quality training and still maintain the philosophy of the Open Fire Academy. Initially we will be providing certification courses, with the intent of expanding to degree granting education. Our first class in this new program will be Fire Officer I. The pilot class is now being recognized in:

North Carolina
Georgia
Kansas
Indiana

Each state is permitting students to sit for the certification assessment, if they have successfully completed of the course. More states are being added, so check here often to see if your state is recognizing the course or if your state has approved it, please email: admin@openfireacademy.org.

As well, Merlot.org members are encouraged to take advantage of the resources and activities of the Open Fire Academy.
