Compact Members: The Mid-Atlantic Fire Compact is comprised of seven state Forestry Agencies and associate members from the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service. The seven states in the compact are Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. For the purpose of registering for this Academy, Compact Members are state or federal employees (or are affiliated with one of these seven states listed) who have been selected to participate in training by their state fire supervisor or Fire Management Officer. All authorized compact members will receive a code from their state fire supervisor or Fire Management Officer to use at registration.

Non-Compact: Non-Compact members are often volunteer or working with local, state, or federal organizations/agencies outside of the state forestry organizations within the Compact. Federal employees are not considered a part of the Compact unless they are instructing for the Academy or have been issued a registration code by their Fire Management Officer.

Instructors: All instructors staff members should receive a code from the Compact and register using the Instructor option.
