Firefighter Boot Camp IV Schedule
Beginning in Y2008 the Cortland County Department of Fire Emergency Management launched the first comprehensive, initial entry level program for recruit firefighting personnel. Firefighter Boot Camp introduces firefighting concepts, practices and techniques necessary for success within the fire service. Based on the Firefighter Level I 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 physically demanding, intense 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 fire 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, mentally taxing training program is designed to enhance the recruit firefighter’s knowledge, skills and abilities through the inclusion of the NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control's SCBA Confidence, FF Survival, Truck Company Operations, Courage to be Safe and AHA CPR-D run concurrently with the FFI program. All students whom successfully complete the program will receive NYS certification for the aforementioned courses.
