About this exam
The Oregon DPSST Firefighter I Certification Examination is part of Oregon’s state certification pathway for firefighters. It is intended for career and volunteer candidates seeking Firefighter I certification, rather than serving as a general hiring test for fire departments. Candidates typically prepare through an approved training program or another route recognized by the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). Training providers can explain the current prerequisites, required evaluations, and how exam arrangements apply to a candidate’s pathway.
Firefighter I study areas include fire behavior and development, building construction and structural hazards, personal protective equipment, and self-contained breathing apparatus operations. Candidates should also review the broader knowledge and skills in their approved course curriculum. Certification may involve written knowledge testing and practical skills evaluation; the exact process and requirements can depend on the candidate’s route and current DPSST guidance. Review official materials alongside course notes, and focus on applying procedures safely—not just memorizing terms.
How to prepare for the Oregon DPSST Firefighter I exam

- Review fire behavior, building hazards, PPE, and SCBA in focused sessions; explain the safety reason behind each procedure and connect it to practical training.
