The Good Fire Rewards Program is designed to recognize, support, and reward the people doing the work of prescribed fire, wildfire training, and community resilience. Members earn Good Fire Points by completing NWCG and prescribed fire courses, logging wildfire and prescribed fire experience, volunteering on projects, uploading training documents, and staying engaged in the HFA members area.

Points can be redeemed for practical, real-world benefits including course registrations, membership upgrades, wildland fire gear, PPE, and members-only merchandise. By turning participation into tangible rewards, the program helps reduce financial barriers to training and safety equipment while encouraging continued professional development.

Whether you are just starting out or advancing as a fire practitioner, the Good Fire Rewards Program invests back into the community, builds local capacity, and supports a safer, more skilled, and more connected good-fire workforce.

Members earn Good Fire Rewards Points by actively participating in training, experience tracking, and community engagement through the Healthy Forest Alliance. Points are awarded for completing NWCG and prescribed fire courses, attending HFA events, and volunteering on prescribed fire and wildfire projects. Members also earn points by logging prescribed fire and wildfire experience in the Fire Practitioner Experience Database, helping build accurate records for career development and qualification tracking.

Additional points are earned by logging in to the members area regularly, uploading certificates and documentation to the My Training Documents system, and keeping personal records current. Engagement activities such as reading educational content, participating in approved projects, and supporting partner-led burns may also earn points.

The program is designed to reward safe participation, continuous learning, and meaningful involvement. Every action that strengthens skills, improves documentation, and supports good fire contributes to earning points that can be redeemed for training, gear, and membership benefits.

Good Fire Rewards Points can be used by members to access practical benefits that directly support training, safety, and professional growth. Points may be applied toward registration for NWCG and prescribed fire courses, helping reduce out-of-pocket costs for required and advanced training. Members can also use points to upgrade their membership level, unlocking additional services, resources, and practitioner benefits.

Points may be redeemed in the Members-Only Store for HFA swag, wildland fire gear, and personal protective equipment, making it easier to obtain the tools needed to work safely and effectively on the fireline. Select equipment rentals, training materials, and program fees may also be covered using points, depending on availability.

By allowing points to be used for real-world needs—education, gear, and access—the program lowers barriers to participation and encourages continued engagement. Every point earned helps members reinvest in their own safety, skills, and long-term involvement in prescribed fire and wildfire resilience efforts.
