Call Deputy Chief, Chris Munson at (509) 457-8615 or email c.munson@ycfd4.org if you have at least 12 students and want to schedule an EVIP Train-the Trainer class locally. 

Yes.  The new EVIP program includes a continuing education component for both the EVIP drivers and the EVIP trainer.  EVIP trainers need to attend a EVIP Train-the-Trainer class once every five years.  EVIP drivers are required to complete an annual recertification.  There two components that are required for EVIP driver recertification:

  • EVIP Road course
  • Review 2 units from the EVIP course.

Provided your EVIP drivers have been actively participating in EVIP continuing education they do not need to retake the full EVIP course.  The new EVIP program requires two components that count toward continuing education (see above).  If your drivers have not been participating in continuing education, we strongly encourage you to have them go through the full new EVIP course.

No. Instructors that are still within their 5-year certification under EVIP 3.0 are still able to teach from the current 4.0 curriculum. The changes that were made from the 3.0 to 4.0 programs were not substantial enough to require existing instructors to have to recertify before being eligible to teach from the 4.0 curriculum. Once an EVIP 3.0 Instructor’s certification approaches their expiration date or expires, then they will need to attend a Train-the-Trainer course to recertify. Your Content Goes Here

Yes. A document kept in any/all apparatus can substitute the individual certification card requirement, so long as it is available to the driver at all times that they are operating the apparatus. The document still needs to include the certification cards, but they can be collectively put together on one document. The document is capable of being in electronic form, so long as it is available to the driver/operator at all times that they are operating the apparatus. If access to the document is reliant upon data/cellular signal coverage in intermittent or remote areas, consider storing the electronic document locally on a device where it can still be accessed during times of no data/cellular signal coverage.

All Wa. State Firefighter drivers training programs must be accredited with WSP Standards and accreditation.  Per RCW these programs must be submitted for approval and resubmitted every five years. WSP Standards and accreditation have an agreement with Washington State Dept of Licensing, Commercial Drivers Licensing, to review and approve Drivers training programs for firefighters. Currently there are two programs that are accredited and approved in Wa. State for firefighters:

  • Washington Fire Chiefs EVIP
  • VFIS
