Wildfire qualifications for individuals from the Arizona Department of  Forestry and Fire Management, as well as those working for Arizona fire departments, are reviewed by the Arizona Wildfire Qualifications (Red Card) Review Committee. Recommendations are then forwarded to the State Fire Management Officer who is the only person authorized by the State Forester to sign qualifications cards at the Single Resource Boss Level and above in operations, at the Unit Leader Level and above in other ICS functions, for the Firewise Communities Advisor and Assessor positions, and the Structure Protection Specialist.
