Personnel Records Verification

2021 RECORD VERIFICATION PROCESS  

There are no extensions for this season.  All students are required to take RT-130 and a Fitness Test.

What records will be verified this year’s VIPR Agreements

  • Engine Personnel
  • Ambulance
  • Fallers

Note: On Fallers we are NOT verifying level of faller qualification, only verifying that they have had the Basic Firefighter Course and if appropriate the RT130 this year if the Basic Firefighter Course was taken in a previous year, and that they have a current pack test for the year.

Please check the following before you send your records in for review:

1. Please be sure all the training is entered into the database, i.e. IS-700 and IS-100 certs.

2. Please be sure the qualification date for FFT2/FALLER or FFT2/EMTF (or other Ambulance Quals) are the last day of the FFT2 class or the latest date of required training needed for that qualification. The qualification date for FFT1 and ENGB is the date the taskbook is signed off, or the latest date of required training needed for that qualification.
3. Please don’t make your cards until you have the correct qualification date in the training record.  The only qualifications that I am verifying is FFT2, FFT1, ENGB and FALLER.  You can put FFT1-TRN and ENGB-TRN qualifications on your cards if appropriate.  Remember to send a shift ticket for Red dot if you put FFT1-TRN on a card.
4. The expiration date for the qualification is 5 years from the qualification date.  You’ll need to send a shift ticket to update that if you are expired.

5. If you are moving a FFT2 from yellow to red please send one shift ticket to prove their experience.

6. For returning firefighters please only send pack test and RT-130 cert IF NOT A WCFA CLASS.
7. You only need to send one pack test if everyone being reviewed is on it.

8. For promoting firefighters please send taskbook (1 & 2 pages and all evaluation pages, and shift tickets that support the taskbook, and training certs IF NOT A WCFA CLASS.

9. For new FFT2 please remember to send their driver’s license with other items needed for FFT2.  ID has to be current and cannot be expired.

10. Send a payment with your submissions so we can complete the record review and not have to go back in when I get the payment or ask for the payment.

11. BE SURE YOU HAVE SUBMITTED YOUR RECORDS FOR REVIEW IN THE DATABASE UNDER THE TRAINING VERIFICATION TAB. (This is an additional step after the cards are made)
12. It’s OK if you have some red X’s in your employee’s record when you submit them as long as you turned in hard copies for the record.
