FIREFIGHTER 1 and
2 SKILLS TESTING
The skills testing for FF
1 and 2 is a random sampling of all possible skills in each certification level. FF 1 & 2 testing is comprised of 6
skill stations each, with 2 additional stations during FF1 testing to evaluate competency to Haz Mat Operations.
There are multiple skill possibilities at each station, however the candidate will only be required to perform 1 skill at
each station. 2 of the 6 FF1 stations are mandatory skills for all candidates. 1 station
will include a 1-minute drill, either dressing in PPE or donning a breathing apparatus. The 2nd station will involve a live-fire
scenario.
Testing requires the use of PPE, therefore, candidates for testing must
bring full PPE and SCBA. Each test day will expose candidates to a potential IDLH atmosphere with live-fire
scenarios, therefore all candidates MUST be clean shaven to the point that facial hair does not come between the facepiece
seal and the face. Candidates must also bring thier own copy of all Kentucky
Firefighter 1&2 and Haz Mat Operations Skill Sheets to use as reference materials. It is recommended you
also bring a snack and drink as testing will not break for lunch either day.
All Candidates must bring a drivers license or state-issued photo ID to
the test site for positive identification prior to testing.
Also, new to 2008 due to current
NFPA requirements for certification, candidates shall show competency in medical training. Candidates shall bring a copy of
a current CPR-Pro card and current first aid, first responder, EMT or Paramedic certification.
