Bloodborne Pathogens SafetyThis course provides practical information on various diseases and protection strategies associated with bloodborne pathogens. It also includes an explanation on requirements for complying with the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act.

1

Building ConstructionUnderstanding the fundamentals of building construction is crucial in order to properly understand firefighting. Likewise, a lack of knowledge of building construction can potentially lead to deadly error during the course of fire suppression. This course covers the basic elements of building construction and related hazards.

2

Self-Contained Breathing ApparatusThis lesson focuses on proper SCBA use with an emphasis on safety including the importance of fit testing and understanding conditions requiring such use. Also included are types of SCBA, SCBA malfunctions and emergencies, and proper maintenance and inspection procedures.

3

Fire BehaviorTo safely manage fire, firefighters must understand the science behind how fires start, how they spread, and how they can be extinguished. This course focuses on fire behavior including types of fuel, products of combustion, and the phases of fire development.

4

Hazard CommunicationThis course covers the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) with an emphasis on how to comply and incorporate changes to the standard in accordance with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals.

5

Respiratory ProtectionA basic overview on the selection, use, and maintenance of respiratory protective devices. This course explores different types of respiratory hazards, examines criteria for respiratory selection, and the requirements and special considerations associated with respirator use.

6

Confined Space EntryThis course provides training for activities related to confined space entry and its corresponding hazards. Focusing on awareness level training, this lesson includes information on the purpose of confined space entry permits and the characteristics of common toxic gases.

7

Ground LaddersWhether a fire department’s ladder is made of wood, aluminum or fiberglass, firefighters must be knowledgeable of their designs, characteristics, and proper uses. This course highlights ladders used in fire operations, maintenance, and how to carry and place.

8

Advanced HAZWOPER Awareness (MOD #1)Understanding the nature of hazardous materials and how to respond to incidents will quickly help manage dangerous situations. This module reviews the basics of hazardous materials that awareness level first responders must be vigilant of.

9

Driving SafetyTraffic accidents are a leading cause of incidental deaths among US workers. This training course presents information to aid employees in operating vehicles safely including safe driving techniques, various driving conditions, and coping with roadway scenarios.

10

Fire ControlFire control is the defining test of a firefighter’s training, experience, and skills. This course focuses on the tactical side of fire suppression with topics including an overview on fire control, fire extinguishment, and the general distinctions between fire types.

11

Fire HoseThis course is an introduction to fire hose standards that are required learning for fire personnel. Also touched upon is an overview of types of hoses and couplings, basic hose lay procedures, and the handling and service testing to ensure the integrity in the hose.

12

Advanced HAZWOPER Awareness (MOD #2)It’s integral that fire professionals understand how hazardous substances are labeled and identified. This course examines various methods of hazard identification, the use of safety data sheets, and what materials are available for understanding the properties and hazards of certain chemicals.

13

Firefighter Personal Protective EquipmentThis course covers the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) with an emphasis on how to comply and incorporate changes to the standard in accordance with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals.

14

Firefighting FoamsFoams are considered the best fire suppression agents for class B fires but there remain misunderstandings, hence departments highlighting a need for training in this area. This course provides an overview of the effectiveness of foams, reviews different types of foams available, and describes how foams work.

15

Fire Detection, Alarm & Suppression SystemsSprinkles, smoke detectors, and other fire protection systems are a key first line of defense in controlling and sometimes extinguishing structural fires. This course emphasizes the importance of fire protection systems and covers how fire detection and alarm systems operate.

16

Forcible Entry into a StructureDuties requiring forcible entry may save lives and minimize property damage. This course covers the knowledge and skills necessary to perform forcible entry safely while also examining the appropriate location to enter, basic considerations for entry, and how to care for forcible entry tools.

17

VentilationProper ventilation leads to better visibility, lower temperatures, and reduced smoke damage while increasing the ability to rescue victims and attack a fire. This course covers the best practices and strategies for ventilation during a fire and touches on several forms of ventilation including vertical, negative pressure, and hydraulic.

18

Water SupplyThis course presents a basic overview of water supply systems including knowing where the water is located locally, the capacity of an area’s water supply, and how much water is needed to extinguish a particular fire.

19

Fire StreamsA majority of fires are extinguished using water or other substances that are delivered under pressure. This course examines types of fire streams and how they’re deployed including the hardware used to produce effective streams and streams that are appropriate for particular types of fire.
