there’s a job for everyone.
TO RECEIVE INTERIOR QUALIFICATIONS, MEMBERS GO THROUGH BOTH EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR ADVANCED FIREFIGHTER TRAINING AT THE ORANGE COUNTY FIRE TRAINING CENTER. TASKS VARY ON EACH CALL, BUT GIVEN THEIR CERTIFICATION, THIS ALLOWS THEM TO ENTER THE STRUCTURE TO ASSIST FROM THE INSIDE.
INTERIOR FIREFIGHTERS
BEING AN EXTERIOR FIREFIGHTER ALLOWS YOU TO BE THE ‘EYES ON THE OUTSIDE.’ RAISING LADDERS, STRETCHING HOSE AND OPENING HYDRANTS ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF IMPORTANT TASKS FOR EXTERIOR FIREFIGHTERS ON THE FIREGROUND.
EXTERIOR FIREFIGHTERS
ONE OF THE MOST VITAL ROLES ON THE FIREGROUND BEGINS WITH THE PERSON BEHIND THE WHEEL. GETTING TO THE SCENE, SUPPLYING WATER TO THE FIREFIGHTERS INSIDE, ALL WHILE COMMUNICATING OVER THE RADIO IS WHAT MAKES A CHAUFFEUR SO IMPORTANT. DRIVING THE TRUCK IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.
CHAUFFEURS
DIRECTING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AT FIRES, MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS, SPECIAL EVENTS AND DRILLS ARE THE MAIN FOCUS OF BEING A MEMBER OF THE FIRE POLICE. THE MAIN GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN PROTECTION AND SAFETY OF THE EMERGENCY PERSONNEL ON SCENE AT ALL TIMES.
