Fire and Emergency Services Instructor, 10th Edition is the essential resource for today’s fire and emergency services instructors and instructor candidates. Designed to build strong instructional foundations, this manual equips readers with the knowledge and skills to effectively prepare, deliver, and evaluate training that directly impacts firefighter safety and performance.
New to this Edition: The Live Fire Instructor section—covering both Live Fire Instructor and Live Fire Instructor In-Charge—provides critical guidance on the safe provision of live-fire training, one of the most challenging yet vital components of fire service instruction.
Training is more than a requirement—it’s the backbone of firefighter competency. When delivered with intention and accuracy, training not only protects personnel but also strengthens a department’s ability to fulfill its core mission. Fire and Emergency Services Instructor, 10th Edition ensures instructors are prepared to teach with clarity, authority, and a focus on safety.
Instructor 10th equips personnel with the information necessary to meet the job performance requirements (JPRs) of NFPA 1020, Standard for Fire and Emergency Services Instructor, Fire Officer, and Emergency Medical Services Officer Professional Qualifications (2025) for Instructor Levels I, II, and III. The manual also includes the information necessary to meet the JPRs for Live Fire Instructor and Live Fire Instructor In Charge.
