FPTC 214
Update Skills & Knowledge for Volunteer/Reserve Firefighters
Description:	This course meets the training needs of the volunteer/reserve firefighter. Students build upon their firefighting skills, including knowledge of firefighter safety, SCBA and PASS devices, determination of air supply, electrical hazards, use of tools and equipment, fuel types and suppression methods, attack techniques, structural search and rescue, first aid, and CPR skills. The course is an overview of current technology, and available equipment and resources within the scope of fire control, rescue, and intervention.
Limits on Enrollment:	State Fire Marshal Office (SFMO) certified basic firefighting academy diploma or equivalent as determined by the Dean of Academy Instruction. NOTE: Approval of equivalent training is not a guarantee state regulatory or licensing agencies will also grant equivalency. Prior to beginning this course students must already be familiar with, and be able to demonstrate all of the skills listed in the SFMO curriculum. These will not be taught in the course; rather, they will be the starting point for advanced firefighter training that builds upon them. Contact the Director of the Public Safety Training Center for a complete list.
Repeatability:	May be repeated once if grade was D or F.
Grading Type:	Credit Course Taken For P/NP Only
