The members of the Mid-Atlantic Fire Compact provide training opportunities throughout the year. The Compact also holds the Mid-Atlantic Wildfire Training Academy at Garrett College, McCoy, MD, around the second week of June.

Pennsylvania usually offers a wildland fire training academy starting the Tuesday after Memorial Day. Virginia typically has a spring academy the last week of May and a fall academy usually in September.
