Question 5 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security

What training is important to entry-level firefighters? Choose all that apply.

Answer
A
physical training for stair climbing, ladder raise, hose dragging, crawling through dark and narrow tunnels
B
eye training so that no glasses are needed
C
stamina training in carrying equipment up the stairs with added weight from a hose to make a forced entry
D
learn how to do search and rescue to locate a fire victim and perform a ceiling breach and pull

Explanation

Entry-level firefighters need physical conditioning for common job tasks, including climbing stairs, raising ladders, dragging hoses, and moving through confined spaces. They also need stamina to carry equipment and hose while working, and practical training in search and rescue, including locating victims and performing tasks such as a ceiling breach and pull. Eye training to avoid needing glasses is not a standard firefighter training requirement.
