Study Notes
Training Program Planning
- Company commanders should rotate material among blocks #1 to #9 over the year, but some blocks may require repetition.
- Emergencies and holidays may lead to the omission of scheduled activities; planning must adapt accordingly.
- When fire danger is "extreme," certain adjustments to training sessions and inspections are necessary.
Adjustments for Extreme Fire Danger
- Difficult inspections should be simplified, prioritizing accessibility.
- Complex training (e.g., hose relays) should be substituted with simplified indoor training to maintain readiness.
- Tools and equipment must be checked to ensure they are ready for use.
Quarterly Training Activity Requirements
- Block 5 includes a minimum of 3 hours for EMT skills retention, with 27 hours for manipulation skills across blocks #1-9.
- Additional training based on needs should occur, particularly on a rotating basis among various blocks.
- Chief Officers conduct three inspections per year per platoon to evaluate quarters and personnel.
Training Recording Procedures
- The F-732 form must document essential training items including Peace Officer Standards Training, SCBA, safety procedures, and cultural awareness.
- Documentation must include item descriptions, dates, and initials of the trainer for each new or updated safety equipment.
California Firefighter Joint Apprenticeship Committee (Cal-JAC)
- The Department partners with Cal-JAC to reimburse firefighter training through California’s education system.
- Cal-JAC aims to enhance the training quality of firefighters statewide.
Dress Standards for Training Functions
- Off-duty training members must adhere to punctuality; late attendance is not accepted.
- Appropriate attire includes long pants or skirts (for females), collared shirts, and suitable footwear (socks/nylons required).
Scheduling and Training Sessions
- Effective scheduling by officers is vital for successful station activities; considerations include timing, methods, and individual talents.
- Training sessions may vary in length and should account for attention spans and subject interests.
- Extended training sessions can be categorized into shorter segments for better recording and engagement.
