Performance of any task on other than the designated assignment is not valid for qualification. For example, tasks coded W must be evaluated on a wildfire tasks coded RX must be evaluated on prescribed fire and so on. While tasks can be performed in any situation, they must be evaluated on the specific type of incident/event for which they are coded. The evaluator should determine, through interview, if the trainee would be able to perform the task in a real situation.

Infrequently and opportunities to evaluate performance in a real setting are limited. R = Rare events such as accidents, injuries, vehicle or aircraft crashes occur W/RX = Task must be performed on a wildfire OR prescribed fire incident. RX = Task must be performed on a prescribed fire incident.

W = Task must be performed on a wildfire incident. Examples include wildland fire, structural fire, oil spill, search and rescue, hazardous material, and an emergency or non-emergency (planned or unplanned) event. I = Task must be performed on an incident managed under the Incident Command System (ICS). O = Task can be completed in any situation (classroom, simulation, daily job, incident, prescribed fire, etc.). The codes are: O = other, I = incident, W = wildfire, RX = prescribed fire, W/RX = wildfire OR prescribed fire and R = rare event. INCIDENT/EVENT CODING Each task has a code associated with the type of training assignment where the task may be completed. Evaluation and confirmation of the trainee’s performance while completing all tasks may occur on one or more training assignments and may involve more than one evaluator during any opportunity. Successful performance of all tasks, as observed and recorded by an evaluator, will result in a recommendation to the agency that the trainee be certified in that position. An Evaluation Record will be completed by all evaluators documenting the trainee’s progress after each evaluation opportunity. Trainees are evaluated during this process by qualified evaluators, and the trainee’s performance is documented in the PTB for each task by the evaluator’s initials and date of completion. Trainees must be observed completing all tasks and show knowledge and competency in their performance during the completion of this PTB. Each PTB lists the competencies, behaviors and tasks required for successful performance in specific positions.
