Currently in the process of joining the local VFD. The process here is that you start out on the same BA course that is used for the exams. To get you acquainted with the environment, you start with no mask on and no cylinder and tag along with another team. After a couple of walkthroughs you get a mask. Later, a filter is added to the mask to introduce breathing resistance. Once you have that down, you get to go with a full BA. THere are hatches, sliding doors, obstacles there you can get tangled up, and also tight passages where you even might need to take the cylinder off your back in order to fit through. You usually push it ahead of you. There will always be 2 man teams on the course. It is nearly impossible to complete alone as in places, you need to push or pull your buddy through a passage, like a 10 ft long tube. If you are in any way claustrophobic then this is most definitely NOT for you. Oh, and the BA course is rearranged once or twice a year, so your recertification will not be on the same course as last time.

We need to teach a lot more of this, and more first aid as well. I dont think the general public realises what a difference basic first aid techniques can make. You can learn CPR to at least a basic, useful level from youtube and have a first aid kit in your car with trauma bandages. Learn how to deal with shock.

There is no need to remove glasses before tests, other than the breathing apparatus enclosed space test for fitting of the mask, which has zero visibility anyway. If a candidate is successful, inserts can be provided for use when wearing breathing apparatus. Other than that, glasses can be worn, although they will need to be of a required specification.

If you are interested in applying to be an on-call firefighter we would recommend downloading the information pack from our website which contains details about vision requirements.
