Fire Apparatus Driver/Operator 1B: Pump Apparatus Operations

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) has awarded a contract for Fire Apparatus Driver/Operator training services, specifically focused on Pump Apparatus Operations. The contract, identified as NON-IT Goods 0000874380, was awarded on October 21, 2025, with a total contract value of $2,800.00. The procurement covers 20 individual training units at a rate of $140 per unit, targeting the development of specialized driver/operator skills for fire personnel.

The contract represents a targeted professional development initiative for CAL FIRE's operational personnel, emphasizing critical pump apparatus operational competencies. The training will likely enhance emergency response capabilities by providing specialized instruction in fire apparatus management and operational techniques. The relatively modest contract value suggests this may be a focused, specialized training effort rather than a comprehensive system-wide program, indicating a precise, targeted approach to professional skills enhancement within the California fire protection infrastructure.
