Driver Operator

Responsibilities

• Drives and operates firefighting vehicles, such as pumpers, aerial ladder trucks, support vehicles, and Airport Rescue Firefighting (ARFF) vehicles.
• Drives to the scene of the fire following a predetermined route or selecting an alternate, when necessary, and positions vehicle considering factors, such as wind direction, sources of water, hazards from falling structures, location of armament on aircraft.
• Leads a crew in the operation of pumps, foam generators, extended waterways, ground sweep nozzles, and other similar equipment.
• Determines proper pressures, the number of lines, and relays requirements to the booster pumper.
• When operating a crash truck, maneuvers vehicle to keep the fire in optimum range while ensuring that backflash or flashover will not occur.
• Maintains constant awareness of levels in self-contained breathing apparatus and warns other firefighters when tanks are close to empty.
• Assists in training other firefighters on driving vehicles and operating equipment.
• Participates as a member of the base HAZMAT Response Team as required.
• Participate in regular training and exercises as required.

• Controls and extinguishes fires by operating hoses, ladders, and hydrants.
• Performs and leads assigned crew in structural firefighting duties for a variety of facilities, which may include research and/or large industrial or space launch complexes.
• Performs prefire planning by physically going through structures to become familiar with the layout, fire hazards, and location of fixed fire protection systems.
• Maintains firefighting equipment and fire station facilities.
• Ensures federal, state, and local protection/prevention ordinances and building codes concerning health, safety, and the environment are strictly adhered to.
