The Upper Arkansas Valley Wildland Fire Foundation returns to Salida this week.

300 firefighters and emergency responders will be in town for the weeklong Colorado Wildland Fire and Incident Management Academy.   

The base for their training will be Salida High School.   

Residents should expect to see numerous fire agency vehicles and personnel around town.   

The academy is offering courses and exercises related to all-hazard incident management, wildland fire, and leadership.
