OPERATIONAL POLICY
When performing IPE’s, members shall wear full personal protective equipment and
self-contained breathing apparatus as determined by the IPE.
OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE
Active members should perform IPE without any failures in task steps.

2. Task: The member should advance 200 feet of large-diameter hose from a
properly loaded hose bed to a hydrant and connect to the hydrant.
3. Performance Outcome: The member while operating on a simulated fire ground,
should be able to deploy and advance 5-inch LDH to a hydrant, and proceed to
make a connection for a water supply.
4. Candidate Directive: “Advance 200 feet of 5-inch LDH to the designated hydrant
and proceed to make a connection for a water supply.”
5. Critical Errors: If the member performs any of the following errors, the evolution
will be terminated, as it would be a failure of the current test attempt.
