CTE TEKS - Implemented 2017-2018, adopted in 2015

Firefighter II course scope and sequence within the Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security Career Cluster® summarizes the content to be taught, and one possible order for teaching the units of instruction. A brief description of each unit and the corresponding TEKS are included. This scope and sequence may be adapted or adopted by the local education agency.

Based on the House Bill 5 Foundation High School Program, the Firefighter program of study within the Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security Career Cluster® provides helpful information, including the core courses and career-related electives in high school that will help prepare students for their career goals. This document is designed for students, but can also be used by administrators, counselors, teachers, business and industry representatives, and parents.

Lesson plans are currently not available. Review the scope and sequence document, TEKS, and available lesson plans, to determine which additional lesson plans to locally develop.

You can download the optional blank lesson plan template provided here, to locally develop a new lesson plan, consistent with the others provided in the Texas CTE Resource Center.

If after developing a new lesson plan, you would like the TEA to consider adding it to the resource library for colleague teachers to also use in the future, attach the lesson plan and any supplemental instructional materials through the form here, for consideration. If published, we will attribute the materials to you.

In this lesson, students will be expected to identify various rescue equipment as well as conduct a mock search and rescue drill. 

It is necessary for firefighters to understand the safe operation and use of fire service hoses. To fight fire effectively, it is mandatory that they understand what type of hose to use, when and how to deploy hose lines, and how to effectively use a hose at a fire scene.  Since they are designed to move water to the fire scene, failing to learn the capabilities and limitations of fire hoses could have severe consequences. Through this lesson, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate skills related to hose connections. They will also have the opportunity to research the classifications of fire service hoses to create presentations for the class. 

In this lesson, students will understand the principles of fire extinguishment, determine fire stream and line selection, practice using nozzles, hose appliances, and hose tools, and practice cleaning hoses. 

In this lesson, students will learn about and demonstrate a fire hose roll, practice nozzle operations (with access to a hydrant), and identify various sections of fire hoses.

In this lesson, students will be expected to roll a salvage cover and spread a salvage cover using the one-firefighter method.  If loss control at a fire scene is not properly conducted there is a danger of rekindles, lost evidence, and greater damage to the structure than was caused by the initial incident.

Every year, many firefighters die while performing their sworn duties. Technological changes, construction methods and materials, and everyday items used at home, school, and work continue to make firefighting a dangerous occupation. We can reduce the losses of life and property, if more emphasis is placed on educating the public about fire prevention. Through this lesson, students will explore components relating to fire prevention as well as educating the public about these prevention methods. Finally, students will have the opportunity to conduct fire inspections around their school, then discuss their findings with their classmates.
