Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Firefighter I exam?
The Firefighter I exam is a certification test based on the NFPA 1001 standard. It assesses the knowledge and skills required to perform essential firefighting tasks under direct supervision, serving as the foundational credential for professional firefighters.
What is the difference between Firefighter I and Firefighter II?
- Firefighter I is the entry-level certification focusing on basic fireground operations (hose lays, ladder throws, SCBA use, search & rescue basics).
- Firefighter II builds on this, requiring more advanced skills like incident command system (ICS) support, developing pre-incident plans, and supervising interior attack lines.
Who administers the Firefighter I exam?
The exam is typically administered by a state fire marshal's office, a provincial fire authority, or an accredited agency like the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications (ProBoard ) or the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC).
Is the exam written, practical, or both?
To achieve full Firefighter I certification, you must pass both a written knowledge exam and a hands-on skills evaluation (practical exam). The written test covers theory, while the practical assesses your ability to perform specific job-related tasks.
What topics are covered on the written exam?
Major topics include:
- Fire Behavior
- Building Construction
- Portable Extinguishers
- Ropes & Knots
- Forcible Entry
- Ladders
- Hose & Streams
- Ventilation
- Search & Rescue
- Salvage & Overhaul
- Firefighter Survival
- Basic ICS/Communications
How should I study for the written exam?
Use your course textbooks, class notes, and dedicated study guides. Prephow Firefighter I Practice tests are crucial for identifying weak areas and getting used to the question format.
What are the hardest skills in the practical exam?
Candidates often find the ladder climb/leg lock, confined space maneuvers in full PPE/SCBA, and the mask confidence (or "flashover simulator") drills to be the most physically and mentally challenging.
How long does it take to get Firefighter I certified?
The timeline varies. An academy program can range from 3 to 6 months of full-time training. Part-time or volunteer programs may take 6 months to a year to complete all training and testing requirements.
Is Firefighter I certification nationally recognized?
While the NFPA standard is national, certification is issued by state/provincial authorities. Recognition is high across the U.S. and Canada, especially if accredited by ProBoard or IFSAC, which promotes reciprocity between states.
