XFIR-5059 - Live Fire Instructor Course
Course Description
This course will provide students with an introduction to the necessary knowledge and tools to properly prepare and conduct live fire training evolutions. The course includes an in-depth analysis of NFPA 1403, Standards on Live Fire Training Evolutions, addressing evolutions at acquired structures; gas-fired training buildings, non-gas fired training buildings, and exterior props, vehicle fires, and exterior class B fires. The course is broken up into three parts, which contain extensive classroom activities, including scenario-based learning, group problem-solving/planning, and lecture, culminating in a written examination. The second and third parts of the training include a live-fire training practical where students can put into practice the knowledge learned during the classroom portion of the course. The course concludes with a post-evolution debriefing. The combination of classroom and practical activities allows participants to apply the knowledge of the applicable standards to live fire training activities.
Students are required to attend all class sessions.
(an additional 8 hours of live burn JPR completion will be scheduled)
