Beginning in Y2008 the Cortland County Department of Fire Emergency
Management will launch the first comprehensive, initial entry level program for

objectives from NFPA Standard 1001, this course develops knowledge,
skills and abilities based on performance criteria for the following
topics: fire department organization, firefighter safety, fire behavior,
personal protective equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus, fire
extinguishers, building searches, forcible entry, ground ladders,
ventilation, hose practices, fire streams, and loss control.
This inaugural course consists of performance criteria in: incident command,
building construction, ropes/knots, rescue procedures, forcible entry
applications, ventilation practices, fire extinguisher applications,
suppression of structural fires, tactics, vehicle suppression, water
supply, loss control, fire cause determination, fire department
communications, fire suppression systems, hazardous materials, weapons
of mass destruction, confined space safety and fire prevention
practices.
The extended training program is designed to enhance the recruit firefighters knowledge, skills and abilities through the inclusion of the NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control's SCBA Confidence, FF Survival, Truck Company Operations and Courage to be Safe run concurrently with the FFI program. All students whom successfully complete the program will receive NYS certification for the aforementioned courses.
