Two-day program 8:30 a.m to 4:30 p.m

Intense two-day program, designed to meet the evaluation requirements of NFPA 1001 and the BC Structure Firefighters Competency and Training Playbook for Interior Firefighter (FIRE-1071 Level 1) and Full Service Firefighter (FIRE-1072 Level 2 for up to 5 students per course). Students must have completed the written component of Live Fire 1 through the  VIERA (if enrolled in that program) to achieve VIERA completion of the Live Fire Components.  

Prior to attending students MUST have gained competency in the following subjects:

• Safety & Orientation

• SCBAs

• Fire Hose

• Fire Behaviour

This program is intense and fast-paced. Students will receive training and be evaluated for the necessary skills to safely meet the requirements of NFPA 1001 Live Fire 2 and the Full Service Firefighter Live Fire 2 FIRE-1072 program practical skills checklist. 

Live Fire Level 2, (NFPA 1001/Full Service Firefighter) evaluations are also available on these dates for those who have already completed the Interior Firefighter Level and have enrolled in the Full Service FF program. Level 2 students are separated during classroom time and are instructed in team management skills, communications and team safety. Level 2 students then act as Command/team leaders for hands-on, as per NFPA 1001. (You cannot do levels 1 & 2 on the same weekend.)

Departments enrolled in the VIERA program must forward their VIERA Student number to Comox Fire Rescue in order to register their members In FIRE-1071 or FIRE-1072 with the VIERA and receive accreditation. 

Please provide students VIERA number when registering.

All students (no exceptions) must meet our medical guidelines before participating in training. See attached documents.
