PMS 310 1 Historical Documents

These historical PDFs are available primarily to assist in account and position audits. The Incident and Position Standards Committee is currently working to establish a web-based and interactive method for the historical information. If you have comments or suggestions based on your use and needs, please send them to the NWCG Webmaster. In 2020, the PMS 310-1 became entirely web-based. Information on all qualifications changes can be found in the History by Position and History by Year. 

The Federal Wildland Fire Qualifications Supplement is now available at https://iqcsweb.nwcg.gov/. Please contact them for historical documents.
