Every year, all volunteer firefighters of the Santa Clara County Fire Department must have all of the following skills signed off. Many of the skills on this checklist are also required for Firefighter 1 qualification.
Many volunteer firefighters get both checklists signed off concurrently.
The subjects listed on this checklist will form the basis of the material used for your yearly volunteer firefighter training. It is your responsibility to have the listed items signed and dated by an officer as you complete training in these subjects. The officer will sign this checklist only when you, the volunteer firefighter, have shown competency in this subject. The responsibility shall be that of the volunteer firefighter to show documentation for references when asked by the company officer. Your Skills Checklist will be evaluated quarterly to measure your progress of its completion.
