Intended Outcomes for the course

1.0 Pre-Fire Planning

Instructional Goals: Given a target hazard occupancy, the student will be able to develop a pre-fire plan and explain it's importance.

1.1 Students will demonstrate knowledge in building construction types and occupancy classifications.

1.2 Students will demonstrate an understanding of pre-incident resource identification.

1.2.1 Initial response equipment

1.2.2 Special resource requirements, i.e.; Haz-Mat Units

1.2.3 Estimated fire flow requirements

1.3 Students will develop a pre-fire plan of a target hazard occupancy.

1.3.1 Expected fire behavior

1.3.2 Anticipated hazards by type of occupancy

1.3.3 Develop strategy

1.3.4 Develop contingency plans for anticipated problems

1.4 Students will describe what effect fire has on building stability given various construction types.

1.5 Students will describe the influence building construction has on fire behavior.

 

2.0 Incident Strategy

Course Activities and Design

This course is presented in a seminar format. It will include sixteen hours and carry one credit hour. This course is developed to fulfill Oregon Fire Standards and Accreditation Board Starndard #34-14 for Firefighter II and III. It may be applied as elective credit toward an Associate of Applied Science in Fire Protection Technology.

Outcome Assessment Strategies

The instructor is required to discuss evaluation at the beginning of the course based on a course syllabus issued to the student. In all cases the evaluation shall meet the standards as outlined by Oregon Bureau of Public Safety Training and Standards, as well as Academic Standards.
