NFPA 1140

The NFPA 1140 guide, Standard for Wildland Fire Protection, combines four previous NFPA standards into one comprehensive guide for wildland fire management. This standard guidebook outlines requirements for training, equipment, and operations for wildland firefighting, controlled burns, as well as fire use. This guide also helps agencies enhance safety, coordination, and effectiveness of wildland and wildland-urban interface fire response. It aids not only with planning, but with on-the-ground firefighting efforts.

In other words, it is a combination of four former standards which are the following:

• NFPA 1051, i.e., Standard for Wildland Firefighting Personnel Professional Qualifications
• NFPA 1141, i.e., Standard for Fire Protection Infrastructure for Land Development in Wildland, Rural, and Suburban Areas
• NFPA 1143, i.e., Standard for Wildland Fire Management
• NFPA 1144, i.e., Standard for Reducing Structure Ignition Hazards from Wildland Fire.
