Brief Description
Hybrid Volunteer Fire Officer
Full Description
This course was designed specifically for volunteer and part-time firefighters and fire officers. While This course meets the knowledge and skill requirements of the NFPA 1021, Standards of Professional Qualifications for Fire Officer I, it eliminates the NFPA prerequisite requirements of Firefighter II and Fire Instructor I. This course is not accredited, does not meet the prerequisite for entry into other Fire Officer Courses at the Ohio Fire Academy, and should not be used for promotional processes in paid or combination fire departments. Students who are paid career firefighters and any student seeking certification for Fire Officer II, III, and IV should enroll in the regular Fire Officer I course. Students will receive a certificate of completion from the Ohio Fire Academy at the completion of the course.

Students will learn essential techniques and skills in leadership, supervision, decision making practices, legal responsibilities, communication, report writing, workplace safety, quality assurance, delegation, pre-incident planning and prioritization in both routine and emergency situations. This course is helpful in guiding the firefighter in the transition from peer to officer.
This is an intensive program that requires out of class work and students should plan on spending at least 15 hours on these assignments. It is not a sit-and-learn program. Because this course is designed to meet the standards of NFPA 1021, Professional Qualifications for Fire Officer and this standard clearly lays out the progressive sequence of becoming a fire officer. This is a standards-based course, material will be presented to you from a variety of sources.

Students will learn essential techniques and skills in leadership, supervision, decision making practices, legal responsibilities, communication, report writing, workplace safety, quality assurance, delegation, pre-incident planning and prioritization in both routine and emergency situations.
