NFPA (Fire) 1451

Reduce risks to fire fighters and the public. Follow the latest training procedures for safe incident response.

Revised with updated requirements and editorial changes, NFPA 1451 specifies the minimum requirements for a fire service vehicle operations training program (except for aircraft and watercraft), including safety procedures for those members who drive or occupy fire service vehicles.

The Standard emphasizes safety considerations in all areas, including for:

• Private industrial fire departments
• Contract fire departments
• Industrial fire brigades that respond off-site

This Standard also guides the development of a written training program including the organizational procedures for training, vehicle maintenance, and identifying equipment deficiencies. It's essential for fire department data management and recordkeeping staff.
