PROBATIONARY FIREFIGHTER RESPONSIBILITIES
The probationary firefighter named above is solely responsible for the completion
and safekeeping of this task book. Loss or damage to this task book may result in
disciplinary action and require the probationary firefighter to re-attempt all previously
completed sign offs. The probationary firefighter is responsible for completing all
signoffs required during the given period before the end of the assigned training
period (i.e., probationary firefighter academy, 5-month, 11-month). The probationary
firefighter must present this task book to the assigned training officer at the end of
the probationary firefighter academy, 5-month exam, and 11-month exam for
documentation and evaluation purposes. Successful completion of this task book
does not guarantee the probationary firefighter any certifications or completion of the
probationary period.
EVALUATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
An evaluator is any individual who verifies the probationary firefighter can
satisfactorily execute a job performance requirement (JPR). A qualified evaluator is
designated by the Fire Chief, or authorized designee, and will possess the equivalent
or higher-level certification. If no such evaluator is present within the organization,
the Fire Chief, or authorized designee, will designate an individual with more
experience than the probationary firefighter and a demonstrated ability to execute
the job performance requirements. A task book may have more than one evaluator.
On successful completion of a skill/JPR by a probationary firefighter, the evaluator
will date, and initial the task book. The evaluator will ensure one section of the
signature verification page is completed. Some of the skills/JPRs are closely related
to each other. If the evaluator feels, in his/her opinion, more than one skill/JPR has
been performed during a single evolution, the evaluator may sign off the
corresponding skills/JPRs. Skills/JPRs may be completed at emergency incidents
or in simulated emergency incidents.
