SECTION 313.002a RODEO
INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE EVOLUTION
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide the resources needed to develop basic driver
skills while limiting risk to the public and Fresno Fire Department (FFD or Department)
apparatus.
APPLICATION
Individual performance evolutions (IPEs) are used to document skill level
performance.
OPERATIONAL POLICY
This section intentionally left blank.
OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE
This section intentionally left blank.
PROCESS
While driving apparatus, the ability to navigate obstacles safely is essential.
The driver is to proceed through the course without crossing boundaries, touching
cones, or touching delineators. With each element, the driver waits at the entry point
until two outside proctors are prepared and approve the driver to proceed. The driver
is not to use the backup camera screen for the purpose of this evolution. The intent
is to operate the apparatus with use of mirrors.
1. Equipment and Personnel Requirements:
(1) FFD pumping apparatus
(1) FFD truck apparatus
(1) Course map

(1) Caution tape
(3) Tape measure
(26) Short cones
(2) Tall cones
(67) Standard cones
(22) Delineators
(1) Driver
(2) Proctors
2. Evolution:
The maximum total points awarded for completing the course
successfully is 65. To qualify a recruit firefighter for an endorsement on
their driver’s license, a candidate must achieve a score of 80% or better.
A candidate must not lose more than 13 points, which reflects 80% of
65.
The proctor is to stop any evolution when unsafe acts or conditions
occur.
Any cone or delineator intentionally run over is penalized by the loss of
all possible points for that event. For the measured stops in the
Diminishing Clearance, Parallel Park, and Alley Dock, the participant is
allowed to exit the cab and witness the measurement.
Points are deducted anytime throughout the course when the following
occurs:
Participant turns the steering wheel while not traveling forward or
backward. This includes entering and exiting events. The intent
is to encourage good driving skills at all times. Forcing steering
of the tires to turn left or right without traveling causes
tremendous stress on steering components.
Participant contacts any tire on the delineator’s rubber base.
Participant touches a cone with any part of the apparatus,
including rubber mounted marker lights. Any tire contacting the
base of a cone is considered a cone touched.
Participant stops the apparatus, then continues again in the same
direction; OR stops, reverses direction to reposition, and then
continues again in the original direction.

Measurements for Alley Dock and Diminishing Clearance are to be
made between the closest delineator and the closest surface of the
bumper. Hardware projecting beyond the bumper surface (i.e., air
horns, tail light bezels, and grab rails) are not considered.
3. Boundary Lines are as Follows:
When defined by a cone,
the inside edge of the cone tips.
When defined by a delineator,
the inside edge of the delineators.
(Figure 1) (Figure 2)
4. Measuring Spot for Parallel Parking is as Follows:
a. Measure from tire centerline.
(Figure 3)
b. Rubber on the line: OK
(Figure 4)

c. Rubber over the line: Not OK
(Figure 5)
If no errors are noted within an event, the driver is awarded all points
possible for the event. The driver is penalized points for each error until
the maximum point value for the event has been lost.
