This must be completed in 16 seconds. <\/li><li>Another test of strength is the hose bundle test. Here you have to carry a hose over a course within 40 seconds. The catch here is that trainees must wear department-standard kit during the event. <\/li><li>Then there is the running event \u2013 a simple test to run 5 laps (1.25 miles) in just 12 minutes. <\/li><li>Finally, there is a swimming event. This is essential for Hawaii because of the number of water activities. Applicants must swim for 100 yards in no less than 2mins 15 seconds and then dive to retrieve a weight from the bottom of the pool. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the interesting things about becoming a fire officer\nin Hawaii is the range of skills and responsibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The smaller stations and island locations mean that there is\na lot of water rescue calls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hawaii Country crew members need to be able to help with sea\nsearch and rescue operations and ocean safety programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can include some junior lifesaving courses.

Some are\ndormant giants that act as tourist attractions for those that flock to the islands.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others will threaten homes and businesses with eruptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hawaii crews need the right training to be able to help\nthose trapped and endangered by any lava flows and subsequent fires. It also\nisn\u2019t unheard of for fire crews to retrieve people that have fallen into a\nvolcano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fire_Academies_in_Hawaii\"><\/span><strong>Fire Academies in\nHawaii<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Training is essential in Hawaii if recruits are to be able\nto handle all of their job requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different fire academies and community colleges\nacross the islands that can provide the right training to get new candidates\nstarted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hawaii Fire Department requirements for training are as follows: a 16-week course for a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Firefighter I certification (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/the-difference-between-firefighter-1-and-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Firefighter I certification<\/a> and an EMT certification on passing the screenings and tests mentioned above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this, there are also weekly exams, reports and\nother certifications during the one-year probation period.
