This course exceeds the requirements outlined by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) and as defined by National Fire Protection Association 1001. The new curriculum focuses on the experienced firefighters who can lead a company, rather than be lead. The course includes ALL required hands-on practicum for certification, advanced skills for RIT, and 8 hours of live fire evolutions!
For state certification, students must be certified as a Firefighter II or Basic Operations Firefighter, have at least three years of fire service experience, and successfully pass the OSFM written exam (scheduled through the student’s department training officer). In addition, from the date of certification, students are required to hold Fire Service Vehicle Operator (FSVO) certification, NIMS 200, Vehicle & Machinery Operations (VMO) certification, and a Courage to Be Safe certificate. All participants must be equipped with NFPA-compliant PPE and SCBA. Email your Company Sponsorship Form to careertraining@mchenry.edu.
