Course Description: Firefighter II is a continuation to Firefighter I, and along with FRTA 1095  (Hazardous Materials Operations), is intended to provide the skills and knowledge necessary to take the Minnesota Firefighter II certification test and function in a more advanced capacity on a fire department or service. The course will emphasize Incident report writing, fire suppression-flammable liquids, fire suppression-flammable gases, fire ground command, evidence preservation, vehicle extrication, assisting the rescue team, pre-incident survey, equipment maintenance, fire hose testing, and fire hydrant testing.
