This course follows the National Fire Protection Standard 1001 most recent edition and N.J.A.C. 5:73.
Apparatus driving is an essential skill that must be mastered through training and education to ensure the safety of responders and the general public. Additionally, member organizations benefit from the training and education by reducing liability exposure and improving service life of their equipment.
Are your apparatus operators truly qualified to drive the emergency equipment in your station? Are you in a position to fully defend your agency's procedures, policies, and guidelines? Can you defend your driver's training program? Hardly a day goes by that, somewhere in the United States, a chief finds himself or herself, struggling to answer these questions while seated in a court of law.
