THE BASIC FIRE FIGHTER TRAINING PROGRAMOffice of the State Fire Marshalwww.basicff1@wsp.wa.govFIFTH EDITION: May, 2005PREFACEThis guidebook provides fire departments and districts with direction when providing the Officeof the State Fire Marshal funded fire fighter training to their members. This guide also providesguidance in the establishment of training requirements for fire fighters that need safety-specifictraining.This program was developed to provide fire fighter training in Washington State as a direct resultof legislation that was passed in the 1999 legislative session which provided funding for firefighter training at the local level. The following materials were developed with the guidance of aTechnical Advisory Group. The group included representatives of these organizations:Washington State Association of Fire ChiefsWashington Fire Commissioners’ AssociationWashington State Fire Fighters’ AssociationWashington State Council of Fire FightersWashington State Fire Training and Safety OfficersCommunity and Technical CollegesOffice of the State Fire MarshalFire Protection Policy BoardPURPOSEFire fighters need many levels of training to do their jobs in a safe and competent manner. Tominimize risks, the Basic Fire Fighter Training Program has been prepared to help the fireservice community address important safety training issues.The purpose of the Basic Fire Fighter Training Program is to provide training resources. Thisincludes a uniform plan of financial support for modular training options to ensure fire fightersacross the state meet a basic level of safe performance and professional development.OBJECTIVESEnsure that every fire department in the state of Washington has the ability and opportunity toprovide their fire fighters with basic fire fighter training that is affordable, accessible, achievableand based on community risk.
