Emergency Vehicle Driver Training (EVDT24) - for Denbo Vesta 6 Volunteer Fire Company

The role of the emergency vehicle driver carries great responsibility. The penalty for not adequately training an emergency vehicle driver also carries legal consequences for the emergency service organization and its personnel. Emergency vehicle drivers have been held both criminally and civilly responsible for their actions. VFIS developed this program to teach emergency vehicle drivers proper driving techniques that include the mental as well as the physical aspects of the driving task. The program stresses the long-term impact of a collision involving an emergency vehicle on the emergency vehicle driver, the emergency service organization and the community. NOTE: This course replaces Emergency Vehicle Operator Training (EVOT).
