IN Firefighter Driver Operator General and Pumper
May 2024 at Rensselaer FD
Course Description
Indiana Driver Operator General and Pumper: This class is designed prepare the firefighter for certification testing through classroom learning and hands on training. The student will be expected to read the assigned material before class. We will be handing out quizzes to be completed before class or using IFSTA Moodle. Although there will be classroom presentation, it will focus on information that can’t be covered out in the field. If you don’t understand something you read, the class will begin with a questions and answers session to try and answer those questions. Then there will be an opportunity to go over the quiz that was assigned. We will then discuss certain topics from the book as to how they may apply. The bulk of the time will concentrate on the skills, understanding what is expected, how to obtain the information, applying knowledge learned from the book and evaluating your work. You must attend all classes to be eligible to take the test. If you must miss a day, it is up to you to make up the material. It will be your responsibility to schedule time between you and an instructor to catch up.
Course Logistics
This class is based on the recently updated curriculum for Indiana Driver Operator certification. The book we will use is IFSTA Pumping and Aerial Apparatus Driver/Operator Handbook 3rd ed. You should be able to access an E book from your IFSTA account, so there will not be any hard copies available. Individuals or Fire Departments now may apply for free IFSTA eLibrary subscriptions via https://on.in.gov/ifsta-library-request. Each user must have an IFSTA ResourceOne account to access these publications. ResourceOne accounts can be created via https://moodle.ifsta.org/. Questions regarding the IFSTA eLibrary should be directed to Shelly Elliott.
We will be doing all the driving and such in and around Rensselaer. If several members attend from one department, you will be expected to provide a fire engine from your department. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with your own equipment and give us more than one piece of apparatus to use. Everyone will need to show a valid driver’s license prior to being allowed to participate in the hands-on portion.
