Basic Fire Fighter Training Resources
Sharing knowledge, information, and resources is critical to the success of the fire service in Washington State. Collaboration is key to sharing the knowledge of the thousands of fire service personnel across the state. The benefits of sharing knowledge and resources include reducing duplication, sharing best practices, opening communication, and increasing standardization. These materials are offered as a resource for non-commercial use only. The Fire Protection Bureau (FPB) makes no warranties as to their accuracy, completeness, or adequacy. Users should critically review these materials for accuracy and adequacy before using. The FPB is not responsible or liable for damages of any kind resulting from a user's reliance on these materials. The resources provided below are available for fire departments to use for training or to augment training as they see fit. Some resources are all inclusive and some are not.
 Note:
If you do not have Adobe Acrobat, you will need to download the
Acrobat Reader in order to view and print any PDF documents and forms.
Skill Verification Booklets Skill verification booklets are available to track critical skills which are required to perform the duties and functions of firefighters. The Basic Fire Fighter qualification process is performance based. The primary criterion for qualification is individual performance in exercises and classroom activities as observed by an evaluator qualified in that position. These skill books are based upon NFPA standards. To print the
following Skill Verification Books in the correct page sequence, follow
the directions found in the Skill
Booklet Printing Instructions
Hot Talk To provide a means to improve communications across the state, we now have the Hot Talk Web Page. The intent is to post questions, comments, and responses received by members of the fire service to allow others to view, learn, and answer. We will post requests, comments, and questions submitted to the Basic Fire Fighter Training Program using the Hot Talk Comments Form. To respond to something posted, just send us an e-mail and we will post it. Please make your comments and questions brief. Your name and fire department is required. This site will be updated as often as necessary. Shared Lesson Outlines Shared lesson outlines and Power Point presentations may be downloaded for easy delivery. Student handouts may be built from the Power Point slides. It is the responsibility of each fire department to review the material and determine if it fits their needs.
DVDs/Videos Listed DVDs/videos are available for loan from the Basic Fire Fighter Training Program. Use the Resource Loan Form provided to request use of these resources. If you have resources that you are willing to share, please send them to the Basic Fire Fighter Training Program address. Lesson outlines and Power Point presentations must be submitted on CD or DVD.
Instructor Development The instructor development program suggests a model and voluntary pathway for a Fire Service Instructor's professional development and provides a means to list instructor availability in a statewide web-based register. A downloadable Instructor Application is available.
A set of PowerPoint slides
and transparencies for the 4th edition of IFSTA Essentials is available
in each region library and may be checked out to fire departments and
districts participating in the Basic Fire Fighter Training Program.
