This class is commonly referred to as Firefighter 1 in most regions. Firefighter 1 teaches basic firefighting techniques such as donning and doffing turnout gear, the use of a variety of different hose types with different water pattern nozzles, and different types of apparatus equipment and their use. Fire behavior, different types of flammable material, and appropriate use of fire extinguishers are also generally covered in Firefighter 1. Firefighter 1 is generally spread out over the course of two to three months. Completion of Firefighter 1 however, is just the basic training a firefighter needs to function. ...
