Driver Operator Participant,
The High Country Training Center has new training regimen for pump equipped vehicles. This skills check
off is designed to be a turn over packet that will be completed by the DO and their assigned company
officer. This packet will be completed over the course of the Summer/Fall months and signed off by the
Company Officer for verification. The Company Officer's signature signifies that you as a Driver Operator
are maintaining your skills pumping and driving skills in what may be unfamiliar apparatus. This signoff
covers the operations of all vehicles and requires that the DO maintain familiarity with Dept.’s rolling
stock. During the course of this skills packet, you will complete all required skills identified by state
Pumper D/O JPRs that are required for maintaining the pumper certification. This was required of you
when you held the certification and is a good skill reminder now that many of you have moved on to the
aerial certification.
This skill packet has four parts that you and your officer will work together to sign off.
1. Written pretest - This primer of sorts will prepare your mind for the D/O information you will need to
access. Nothing is terribly hard or anything you haven't heard of before that will take place over the
period. The questions will consist of normal everyday pumping apparatus questions as well as general
apparatus operational knowledge questions.
2. Apparatus familiarization - Engineers must be familiar with vital department apparatus: aerials,
tenders and type 6 apparatus. Reviewing this equipment will be required and assigned by officers.
3. Skills evaluation - This is a turn over sign off sheet that your officer and you will complete together.
Each of these skills will represent elements that engineers need to be up to date on. You will hold on
to this skills packet throughout the period until it is complete. Skills will include paperwork on the
following:





Vehicle Inspection
Driving Course
Cone Rodeo Course
Written Hydraulics skill problems
Pumping Exercises
4. Final Test - After you have completed the above assignments, you will schedule 1 hour at HCTC for a
final written exam. Similar to your pretest, you will complete a written exam that will test your
knowledge about Driver Operator SOPs specific to your department.

Foam Application
200 psi at the educator
200 feet max from eductor to nozzle - Open Nozzle all the way
Run Clean Water through the eductor @ 200 psi after use
App. Co. = .16 when using 3% or 6% (AFFF) for Polar Solvents (Alcohols)
App. Co. = .10 when using 2% or 3% (AFFF) for Polar Solvents (Gasoline)
Static Drop
(STATIC - RESIDUAL) * 100/STATIC = % FOR ADDITIONAL LINES
0-10% DROP FROM STATIC TO RESIDUAL = ADD 3 TIMES CURRENT GPM OUTPUT
11-15% DROP FROM STATIC TO RESIDUAL = ADD 2 TIMES CURRENT GPM OUTPUT
16-20% DROP FROM STATIC TO RESIDUAL = ADD 1 TIMES CURRENT GPM OUTPUT
