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.
