Dear Fellow Fire Service Member,

We are pleased to provide you with the Ohio Fire Academy’s catalog of course offerings for October 2014 - March 2015. The State Fire Marshal’s offi ce feels that education and training opportunities are essential for the continued professional development of all Ohio fi refi ghters. This training is also one of the reasons fi re fatalities in Ohio reached a 27-year low in 2013.

Some of the new programs we have didn’t just come from our ideas; they’ve come from yours. We’ve listened to your input during our numerous Listening Tours across the state, and we’re working to make training easily accessible and affordable for all fi refi ghters. Our answer to help Ohio fi re departments includes a free 36 hour volunteer fi refi ghter class, training reimbursements, the Direct Delivery program, and our very successful Firefi ghter I Training Grant, which has allowed almost 500 fi refi ghters to receive training. We’ve also been working to keep training costs at a minimum to help with small budgets many fi re departments have each year.

Here at the State Fire Marshal’s offi ce and the Ohio Fire Academy (OFA), we’re continuing to look for ways to help you become the best fi refi ghters you can be. We recently fi nished remodeling some of our campus to bring you the most up-to-date training facilities. We believe our facilities and instructors make the OFA one of the best in the country.

While these course offerings are the most current at the time of printing, we encourage you to visit our website www.com.ohio.gov/fi re for any additional offerings available throughout the year. You can also check out our Twitter (@OhioFireAcademy) and Facebook (facebook.com/OhioFireAcademy) pages to fi nd additional course information. It is our mission to safeguard the lives and property of Ohioans and to ensure that “Everyone Goes Home”. We appreciate your dedication and continued service as you progress in your fi re service career.

Sincerely,

Larry L. FlowersState Fire Marshal

FIRE REPORTING SERIES

Ohio Basic Fire Incident Reporting System (OFIRS) - Fee $0.00Course: 2223 To achieve uniformity in reporting, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) has developed the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). This system is based primarily on the work of the Nation Fire Information Council (NFIC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Technical Committee on Fire Reporting. The NFPA Technical Committee on Fire Reporting is responsible for developing and maintaining NFPA 901, Standard Classifi cations for Incident Reporting and Fire Protection Data. This standard establishes basic defi nitions and terminology for use in incident reporting and serves as a means of classifying data so that the information can be aggregated. Upon completion of the class, students will understand the benefi ts of using the Ohio and National Fire Incident Reporting System; explain the need to collect fi re data; identify the modules that are included in the system and state the purpose of the complete reference guide. The course will cover the use of the following modules: Basic Module; Fire Module; Structure Fire Module; Civilian Fire Casualty Module and Fire Service Casualty Module. The Basic Module captures general information on every incident (or emergency call) to which the department responds. The Fire Module is used to describe each fi re incident by tracking the particular types of fi res or items involved in the fi re. The Structure Fire Module used in conjunction with the Fire Module describes each structure fi re to which the department responds. The Civilian Fire Casualty Module is used to report injuries or deaths to civilians or other emergency personnel (e.g. police offi cers, non-fi re department/EMS personnel) that are related to a fi re incident. This module is used in conjunction with the Fire Module and if applicable, the Structure Fire Module. The Fire Service Casualty Module is used to report injuries and deaths of fi refi ghters. The module can also be used to report exposure of a fi refi ghter to chemicals or biological agents at an incident where that exposure does not result in any symptoms at that time but that manifest themselves at a later date.

This module may be used with any of the other modules.

The Ohio Fire Academy (OFA) online training service helps Ohio fi refi ghters, EMTs, and paramedics fulfi ll their continuing education requirements. E-learning versions of courses can be taken by individuals at any time to help training fi t in to busy schedules. Courses can also be conducted for groups in a classroom setting with the convenience of downloadable materials, streaming videos, and online examination.

The programs are based on U.S. training standards and guidelines from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), National EMS Education Standards and Instructional Guidelines from NHTSA, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), Center for Disease Control (CDC), and other nationally recognized training authorities.

Online Training for Fire and EMS

FireFire course offerings are used by fi re agencies across the United States for ongoing fi refi ghter development. The courses are video-based, and include simulated events, real fi eld footage, and interviews with subject matter experts. They are divided into three groupings:

Firefi ghter – Designed to help facilitate ongoing fi refi ghter development using a blended training approach. Training or station offi cers can arrange for fi refi ghters to complete cognitive learning online or in a classroom and then blend in hands-on skills by conducting the training evolutions provided with each course.

Fire Inspector – Designed for the inspector to complete self-guided, web-based training. After completion of the video portion of the course, the inspector works through multiple scenarios that will help prepare him or her for the course exam. Scenarios are based on potential fi ndings an inspector might uncover during a fi eld inspection.

Offi cer Development – Designed for the promoted offi cer, from Lieutenant through Battalion Chief, and those seeking to be promoted to those roles. Topics focus on knowledge and skills that an offi cer needs to know to lead in a supervisory position. Critical thinking scenarios and audio interviews with fi re service leaders are included with each course.

These fi re training courses are approved by the Ohio Fire Academy for continuing education as a charter training institution.

EMSEMS course offerings are used by emergency medical responders, EMTs, and paramedics across the United States to meet EMS continuing education requirements needed to renew EMS provider certifi cations or licenses. The courses are video-based, and include simulated events, real fi eld footage, and interviews with subject matter experts.

These EMS training courses are accredited by the Continuing Education Coordinating Board for Emergency Medical Services (CECBEMS) and accepted by the Ohio Department of Public Safety – Division of Emergency Medical Services to help meet Ohio EMS provider renewal requirements.

Online Workplace Safety Training (New)Workplace safety courses provide agencies with the ability to meet workplace safety training regulations. They are divided into two groups:

Common Safety Topics - Single topic, video-based courses that focus on the most common workplace safety issues. Comprehensive Safety Courses – Larger offerings including HAZWOPER, OSHA-10, and OSHA-30 courses.
