Full Description: Students will learn to remain oriented and familiarized with their environment while gaining awareness of their own physical/mental limitations and the limitations of their SCBA. Students will be working in simulated hazardous atmospheres and will be required to utilize SCBA orientation to navigate various obstacles/hazards. This course meets the standards set forth in NFPA 1001 and 1404. The curriculum is adapted with permission from Pennsylvania Fire Academy and Fire Engineering magazine.

NOTICE-This course is not intended to provide basic instruction on the use of SCBA but, instead, focuses students on gaining practical experience with the SCBA provided by their agency. A large portion of the skills activities within this course are physically/mentally challenging and should only be attempted by students in good physical condition. It is recommended that students have Firefighter I & II training, Basic Fire training, or be considered competent in the use of SCBA by their organization.

Prerequisites: Must have successfully completed on of the following courses: Basic Fire Fighter Skills, Introduction to the Fire Service or Firefighter I certification. Equivalent programs will be considered with documentation of completion.

Training Location: Willard Fire Protection District
240 North State Highway Z
Willard Station 1 Headquarters
Willard, MO 65781

Resources Required: Students:
Students must bring their own turnout gear and SCBA. All SCBA cylinders must be within their appropriate hydrostatic test date. There are no formal prerequisites, but we highly recommend the student have experience with and a working knowledge of their agency's SCBA.

Host Agency:
The host agency needs to provide a classroom with media equipment, SCBA cascade or refill station, and adequate sized indoor space for assembly of the air consumption mazes. I am always happy to take a look at the agency's available spaces for adequacy.

Vendor provides:

Vendor will provide all printed course materials. If the host agency does not have props, we will work with the agency to build the necessary props and leave those props with the host organization as a donation for their own training program.
