Coaching the Emergency Vehicle Operator – Fire Maneuvering Skills is a 1 to 2 hour supplement to the CEVO Fire classroom course or can be taught as a stand alone module. This video and guide details how to set up a driving course and conduct a low-speed maneuvering skills session, and is especially valuable to organizations without access to a permanent driving range. Demonstrates how to conduct a series of specific exercises, including:
- Serpentine driving (backward and forward)
- Backing to the right and left
- Backing with an assistant — which tests the operator's ability to drive the vehicle smoothly, judge spatial relations (distance and clearance), maximize the use of mirrors, and communicate with other squad members.
- Also includes a vehicle inspection segment
