October 24, 2012

Guest Post by Mr. Rick Dunn, Online Training Coordinator with the S.C. Fire Academy. You can follow him on Twitter @SCFAOLC The S.C. Fire Academy proudly announces certification for Emergency Vehicle Responder: Awareness. This level of certification gives our emergency service partners the peace of mind that properly trained and equipped personnel are safely driving to an incident. This evaluation also is a step in the professional development process. The South Carolina Fire Academy certification consists of a practical skill assessment and a written exam. Responders wishing to seek certification must:

Successfully complete the Emergency Vehicle Response: Awareness class. The 1205 – POV class is also accepted.
Possess a valid driver’s license. The license classification must be valid for the type of vehicle the responder typically drives to and from an emergency incident.
Successfully complete the S.C. Fire Academy Vehicle Check and Road Test using their usual response vehicle. This could be a POV, a department staff or service vehicle, an ambulance, or a law enforcement vehicle. This evaluation is administered by your chief or designee.
Successfully pass a multiple-choice S.C. Fire Academy certification written examination.

Responders who successfully complete this certification process will receive an S.C. Fire Academy Emergency Vehicle Responder: Awareness certificate in the mail.

Please contact your Fire Academy Regional Staff if you have additional questions or need more information.
