FIRE 1420 - Fire Fighter II

3 Credit(s)
Firefighter II is a continuation of Firefighter I, building on foundational skills and expanding the student’s ability to function effectively on the fireground. The course emphasizes advanced fireground operations, increased responsibility within the incident organization, and coordinated tactical functions to support safe and effective scene management. Students develop enhanced rescue capabilities, scene coordination skills, and expanded tactical options in support of fire suppression and related emergency operations. Instruction includes incident management concepts through ICS-200, additional practical evolutions, live-fire competencies, foam fire fighting, fire origin and cause awareness, and technical rescue support with basic vehicle extrication operations, including scene safety, stabilization, access, disentanglement considerations, and coordinated rescue support. The course prepares students to meet the Tennessee State Fire Commission Firefighter II written and practical requirements while also strengthening readiness for rescue-related field operations.
