I was just wonder what some other departments have for standards to become a driver?

←

Some requirements might include:

Total # of hours driving

Total # of hours pumping (if an engine co.)

You might have to drive to a certain amount of alarms with another driver

A final "test" with a senior company member/driver

There might be different standards for different companies within a single dept.

Hope that helps.

Our Depatment you need

5 years or more in the department.

100 hours of driver training all documented

PUMP OPERATOR

E.V.O.C.

A.V.E.T.

And a final test with a Chief driver, Chief of the department, Lt or Capt, and one or more other drivers.

You must also pump to our ladder and everyone of our engines.

All drivers have to take defensive driving. If you drive the engines or the truck you need EVOC, Pump ops and Aerial Ops. You need 6 months in the company or at the chiefs discretion. You have to have ample time driving and pumping along with street knowledge. Every rig has a chief driver who is responsible for testing you.
