NOTE: Driving requirement(s) may be adjusted or eliminated if not in the available operation area. Trainee must complete (4) four hours minimum training of pumping operations, hydraulics, foam systems, complementary agent systems, mounted equipment, and tools carried. Trainee must demonstrate the requisite knowledge and skills to successfully and effectively perform all operational tasks. Trainee must complete (2) two hours minimum using all apparatus forms, performing apparatus “check out”, discrepancy reporting, maintenance, and auxiliary equipment operation and maintenance If the apparatus is equipped with a HRET, hands on training shall not be conducted until the Department’s training SOG requirements for classroom and computer based training (if available) have been satisfied. Trainee must complete (6) six hours minimum of hands on HRET operation, demonstrating the requisite knowledge and skills to successfully and effectively perform all operational tasks.
