  1. To participate in a live fire training exercise at one of the county’s fire training facilities, all participants must have successfully completed a NYS OFPC Firefighter 1 course (or equivalent); or be participating as part of their enrollment a NYS OFPC Firefighter 1 course.
  2. Instructors or students with facial hair (beards, long mustaches, side burns, goatees) or other facial features that interfere with proper SCBA face piece seal are prohibited from participating in live fire evolutions.
  3. Instructors or students with jewelry (earrings, nose rings, lip, etc.) in place are prohibited from participating in live fire evolutions to prevent the risk of burns due to heated metals. They may participate if these objects are removed prior to training.
  4. All live fire evolutions shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and procedures. Failure to comply with NFPA Standard 1403 on Live Fire Training or other safety guidelines will be cause for termination of the training exercise. Erie County Fire Safety defines “live fire” as any training where smoke is generated by anything other than a non-toxic smoke-generating machine.
