Fire and Hazmat Training –

* Potential JPR’s addressed at this training. (The following JPRs may or may not be addressed at fire training, but will be made available at various station trainings throughout the year: FFI-JPR 1A, 1C, 2A-C, 3P, 3Q, 5A & B)

Because the Division of Fire Safety has moved to a JPR based renewal system, all fire and hazmat trainings will be guided to ensure proficiency in all of the State’s Job Performance Requirements. Below are links to the JPR lists for FFI & II and Hazmat Operations and the individual JPR skills sheets that review the step by step expectations to demonstrate proficiency.

CCCFPD will host First Responder course in 2011. This training opportunity and any additional trainings will be added to the schedule as soon as planning is complete.

Medical Training –

Per the EMS Officer - The designation of categories for EMT - medical training is misleading and has been dropped. St. Anthony’s will consider all the possibilities for the EMT requirements. (Example: training for trauma also includes patient assessment, so it cannot just be categorized for trauma.) The instructor along with St. Anthony’s will determine the category for the particular training. It is the responsibility of each EMT who attends training to find out what category the instructor designates and the time assigned.

** See Blood borne Pathogens below.

Station Training -

*** During the months of April through September, all four stations will have the opportunity to plan combined trainings which could be to utilize someone’s expertise training more people or to arrange training rodeo’s involving a combination of donning gear, drafting, pumping, driving, etc. Announcements will be made as Station Captain’s have corroborated and plan for these trainings.

Annual Training Requirements

All Active Firefighters must complete, at a minimum, the following annual training hours and topics:

Fire 13 Hours**

Station 12 Hours

Medical 12 Hours**

Hazmat 3 Hours**

Wildland (RT130) 8 Hours**

AED **

Blood Borne Pathogens **

Live Fire Evolution **

48 Hours Total

** Please read the “Training Requirements and Guidelines” section in reference to specific requirements.

** Each training category must be independent of another training category (i.e. Hazmat cannot be applied toward Fire training hours).

Training Requirements and Guidelines

Pension Credit

Effective January 1, 2006, the minimum call attendance requirements for Pension credit is set at 20%, with a minimum of 15% actual call response, the other 5% may be made up with excess training hours over and above the 48-hour requirement. Twenty-four (24) hours of the required training must be in-district.

The call attendance and training requirement minimums must both be met. Failure to do so will result in no pension credit for that year. NO EXCEPTIONS!

In-District Training Requirements

Twenty-four (24) hours of the required training hours must be obtained in-district; the remainder of these hours may be acquired out of district as long as it is documented in writing. Two (2) hours of training (in excess of the 48 required) can be credited as a single call if a firefighter is short on call response (below the 20% minimum).

AED Refresher Training Requirements

All firefighters are required to maintain CPR and AED certification. The district requires that all firefighters get checked off twice a year on AED proficiency. At least two department wide opportunities will be provided for AED recertification throughout the year. AED check offs may also be completed during station training or by scheduling a time to meet with any of the district’s CPR/AED instructors or EMTs.

Blood Borne Pathogen Requirement

All firefighters are required to take an annual blood borne pathogen refresher. This course is offered in November, but course credit can also be obtained via online or printed material curriculum. Please contact the Administrative Assistant or the Training Officer for copies of the printed material and quiz. If taken online or via print, all required certificates or tests/forms must be submitted to the Administrative Assistant for recordkeeping.

**See Training Aids below for online option.**

Live Fire Evolution Requirement

To ensure fire ground skill sets and SCBA proficiency, ALL active firefighters are required to attend one Live Fire Burn day/evening. ALL active firefighters will be required to make one (1) interior fire attack evolution.

Wildland Safety Refresher (RT/130) and Pack Test Requirements for Non-Wildland Team Members

ALL active firefighters MUST attend an annual 8-hour Wildland Safety Refresher (RT/130) class.

Firefighters, not on the Wildland Team, are not required to pass the arduous pack test. Firefighters that do not pass or attempt the arduous pack test will not be issued a Red Card and will not be permitted on any Type 1, 2, or 3 fires or on any wildfires outside District boundaries.

Trainee Firefighter Requirements

Trainee firefighters participating in the Firefighter Academy, First Responder, Hazmat Operations, Driver/Operator, and/or Wildfire S130/190 courses are exempt from call response requirements and some of the annual training listed.

Trainees MUST attend 12 hours of station training in a 2-year period and may attend the other in-district training classes, as appropriate.

Once any certificate has been achieved, State and Department requirements for that particular certification begin. As an example, First Responder recertifies every three years. The State requires a minimum of 36 hours of training during the recertification period. The Department requires 12 hours of medical training per year, which makes achieving the State requirements easy. AED recertification is required every 6 months and a CPR refresher course on an annual basis. For FFI and Hazmat Operations, the State has moved to a Job Performance Requirement system and over the course of the three year period for recertification one must train and demonstrate proficiency on all required JPRs. Once a firefighter has been “turned out” or received all required certifications and trained on their Station’s vehicles/equipment, all Department requirements must be met on an annual basis.
