NFPA 1071 Standard for Emergency Vehicle Technician Professional Qualifications identifies and defines the minimum job performance requirements (JPRs) for Emergency Vehicle Technicians (EVTs). Requirements apply to anyone engaged in the inspection, diagnosis, maintenance, repair, and testing of emergency response vehicles.

Updated requirements at all three levels of EVT address the technological enhancements in new apparatus. Also in the 2011 edition are changes that delineate the three levels of EVT

·   EVT I responsible for operational checks

·   EVT II responsible for performance checks

·   EVT III responsible for supervision and managerial skills

In addition, the skills and knowledge requirements contained in each level of EVT are up-to-date with NFPA 1901, and there's a new skills maintenance requirement for each of the three levels. Improve preparedness with personnel trained to the 2011 NFPA 1071. (Softbound, 33 pp., 2011)
