The Arkansas Forestry Commission sponsored this Living on the Edge Training in cooperation with Interactive Training Media, which has created interactive CDs for Firewise training in Arkansas.

The session was held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Little Rock. The second workshop was held in Ozark on Feb. 17, 2004, the third in Forrest City on April 8, 2004, and the fourth in Fayetteville on May 20, 2004.

These sessions train the trainers, who then go out and train "civilians." The group learned to use the interactive CD "Living on the Edge in Arkansas." Breakout sessions were also frequently used, giving the opportunity for smaller groups to work on Firewise safety issues.
