By  April 24, 2024  No comments

Description 

This course is offered as blended training which includes an Online (OLT) and an Instructor-led (ILT) component. The ILT portion of this course includes a required field exercise that may be arduous in nature. The intent of this course is to train new firefighters in basic firefighting skills and addresses the foundational skills universal to all wildland firefighters.  The target group for this course is personnel desiring to be qualified as entry-level wildland firefighters and support personnel. NOTE:  Check agency-specific guidelines as some agencies may have different requirements

Objectives


Upon completion of the online component and the mandatory Field Exercise, the student will be able to:

  • Describe the purpose of the Standard Firefighting Orders and Watch Out Situations.
  • Describe what the Lookouts, Communications, Escape Routes, and Safety Zones (LCES) system is and how it relates to the Standard Firefighting Orders.
  • Describe the various communication methods and tools used for collecting, producing, and distributing information.
  • Describe the standards, tools and equipment, and various methods used in fireline construction.​
  • Describe the methods for extinguishing a fire with or without the use of water.​
  • Demonstrate the ability to construct fireline to required standards using various methods, tools and equipment, and techniques.
The course material is divided into 12 online modules (1-3 hours each) and a mandatory instructor-led field exercise. Each online module explains the concepts and skills that will be performed and evaluated on the field exercise. Module 12 contains optional knowledge areas (pump operations, map and compass, fire investigation and cultural resources) that are very useful concepts but not required.
