Congratulations
to the first Fire
Officer I class
graduates

T

he Fire and Safety Division is pleased
to announce that on January 18, 2000
the first Fire Officer I class graduated. The
class brought together aspiring fire
officers from the Delta, Hope, New
Westminster, Surrey and West Vancouver
Fire Departments. Students attended
classes 2 days a week and 1 day a week
respectively from September 8 through to
December 17, 1999. The program was an
intensive course and included written
assignments and exams and a live-fire
practical evaluation.
Fire Officer I is directed at developing
the knowledge and skills required for
managing and leading in the fire service;
handling the responsibility of command
and carrying out the initial response of an
incident. It provides essential training for
supervision of fire fighters in fire stations,
managing the operations of fire stations
and departments and the necessary skills
to manage emergency scenes.
Fire Officer I is the first step in
attaining a Fire Service Leadership
Diploma/Certificate.
The next Fire Officer I classroom will
be offered in the Fall 2000 and Spring
2001. Please call 528-5657 for information.
Fire Officer II classroom is in the
process of being developed and will be
offered in Spring 2001.

Live Fire Evaluator Program

T

he Live Fire Evaluator Program has
been established to enable fire
departments to complete Module 8 of the
British Columbia Fire Fighter Training
Program. This is an extension of the
existing Evaluator Program that has
provided a cost-effective means of
certification for fire fighters in British
Columbia. This program is based on the
British Columbia Fire Fighter Standard1995 Edition.
The Coordinator of Fire Fighter
Programs at the Fire Academy (New
Westminster) administers the Live Fire
Evaluator Program. The coordinator of
Fire Fighter Programs is responsible for
certification of live fire evaluators. For
additional information regarding
certification as a live fire evaluator, please
contact Jack Tyler, the CoordinatorofFire
Fighter Programs at (604) 528-5680.
Pre-requisites to Live Fire Evaluation
The Live Fire Evaluator Program
requires that fire fighters have received
certification in the basics of fire fighting
in addition to training in live fire either at
their own department or one of the live
fire training centers located throughout
British Columbia prior to applying for
certification to Module 8 - Fire Control.
Evaluators will not coach or train fire
fighters while conducting the evaluation
process. Where there is doubt of a

student's abilities in the basics of fire
fighting, the student may be requested to
leave the evaluation session. In cases
where this occurs, the evaluator will
provide the fire chief/training officer with
a specific recommendation for future
training.
Where an evaluation is being
conducted during a training session, the
trainer will not be the evaluator for the
students that they have instructed.
Site-Specific Evaluation of Fire
Fighter 1 Topics
Local fire training facilities that can
accommodate fires in exterior piles/stacks
of combustible materials (3-14.1 (a)),
Vehicle fires (3-14-2[c]), dumpsters/trash
bins (3-14.l[d]), may request that a live
fire evaluator conduct evaluations at their
location in order to complete those areas
of Fire Fighter 1 as noted.
Fire fighters who have been certified
in the use of portable extinguishers as per
BC Fire Fighter Standard, 3-6.5 will be
recognized as having met 3-14.l[b]) Open pans of combustible liquids
(exterior).
Acceptance of Previously Issued
Certificates in Live Fire
Live fire training based on the
requirements of the BC Fire Fighter
Standard began in June of 1997. In order
to accommodate and recognize training
and evaluation conducted by the Fire and
Safety Division between June 1st, 1997
and December 31st, 1999, those
individuals who hold certificates of
achievement in the following areas will
receive recognition towards completion of
Module 8 as follows:

Technical High Angle Rope Rescue
Program Approved for a Second
Five-year Term

W

orkers' Compensation Board Vice
President of Prevention, Roberta
Ellis, announced that $1.4 million has
been approved that will extend the
Technical High Angle Rope Rescue
Program for another five year period to
2004. Ellis said the program demonstrates
a successful partnership between labor,
employers, fire departments and the
Board. (Canadian News Wire)
The need for an industrial high angle
rope rescue program was first realized in
1990 when a construction tower crane
worker was severely injured and unable
to reach the ground without help. Neither
the worker nor the fire department had the
training or equipment to perform the high
elevation rescue and it took almost three
hours to lower the worker 100 feet down
to a waiting ambulance. While incidents
that require skills of this intensity do not
happen every day, it is necessary to have
trained teams that are equipped and able
to respond when they do.
The activities of the Technical High
Angle Rope Rescue Program are directed
by the Technical High Angle Rope Rescue
FEBRUARY 2000

Steering Committee. This committee is
comprised of members representing the
Construction Labor Relations Association
of BC, the Construction and Specialized
Workers Union Local 1611, the Greater
Vancouver Regional District Fire Chiefs'
Association and the BC Professional Fire
Fighters' Association. Representatives
from the Workers Compensation Board
and the Justice Institute of BC, Fire and
Safety Division sit on the committee as
resource staff and ex-officio members.
This program has trained close to 80
instructors in 26 fire departments over the
first five-year period. The Justice Institute
of BC, Fire and Safety Division has been
given full administrative responsibility for
the operation of this program. To further
support their involvement, the Steering
Committee approved the erection of a
tower crane at the Fire and Safety Training
Center at the Maple Ridge Campus.
With the development of the proposed
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), Standard for Operations and
Training for Technical Rescue Incidents,
NFPA1670, there is a baseline on which

to proceed with training of future
instructors. This in turn creates a need to
provide a two-day refresher program to
ensure that current instructors are
knowledgeable of the changes brought
about as a result of the standard. Through
the budget process, the refresher program
will be offered to all existing instructors
over a three-year period.
In addition to the refresher program, a
new training program has been developed
based on NFPA 1670. This has divided
the rope rescue training into Awareness,
Operations and Technician levels. A
concept on how to fit these levels plus the
tower crane component into the time
frames allotted to fire service participants
has been reviewed and accepted by the
Steering Committee.
For further information regarding
either the new training program based on
NFPA 1670 or the refresher program that
will be available to all instructors who
completed the earlier program, please
contact Dan Murphy, Manager of the
JIBC, Fire and Safety Division, Maple
Ridge Campus at (604) 462-1000.

Bill's interest did not end there. He
continues to assist with the development
of programs that have resulted in the
enhancement of existing hazardous

Joint NFPA/Justice Institute Fire Inspector Program
n 1999, the Justice Institute's Fire &
Safety Division partnered with the
NFPA to deliver the Fire Inspector I
course. The goals of this course are:
• Enhance professionalism within the
fire inspection industry
• Recognize and provide evidence of
competence as related to NFPA 1031
• Ensure proficiency in the use of codes
and standards

I

The course is designed in three phases:

Phase I: Preparation for a Written
Examination
This can be done in two ways - either
by a 40-hour classroom session, or by
self-study assignments. Experience to
date suggests that the classroom format
is far superior.

Justice Institute is responsible for
administration and proctoring of the
examination.

Phase III: The Practicum
If successful in the written examination, students are eligible to
continue to the Practicum phase. This
is designed to ensure that an individual
has experience in their particular field
prior to becoming certified. The student
is provided with workbooks and
checklists for thirteen target
occupancies, of which they must select
seven (but must include a sprinklered
facility and a commercial kitchen
facility). Once completed, the
checklists are forwarded to the NFPA,
via the Justice Institute for review and
acceptance.

Phase II: The Written Examination
This four-hour examination is designed
to evaluate a student's knowledge of
fire inspection principles and code
application at the level of NFPA Fire
Inspector I. The examination is
provided by and marked by IFSTA. The
FEBRUARY 2000

The cost of the course is US $215.00.
All applicants register through the Fire &
Safety Division. Upon successful
completion of the course, students receive
a joint NFPA/Justice Institute certificate.

Please note that the Justice Institute

recently received accreditation by
IFSAC for this course, and successful
students receive an IFSAC seal on the
certificate.
Demand for the program is growing.
To date, approximately 50 students have
registered, with many having already
successfully completed the course. A
further 60 participants will register within
the next few weeks. These include
members from the fire service, industrial
organizations and government agencies.
Please note that the NFPA/Justice
Institute Fire Inspector Program is offered
in addition to, not as a replacement for,
the Justice Institute's Fire Prevention
Inspector Program. The 12-block FPI
program is currently being updated and a
new FPI-12 workshop, designed to the
1998 edition of the 1031 NFPA Standard,
has recently been successfully delivered.
