Fire Fighter 2 2019

Fire Fighter 2 utilizes NFPA 1001: Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications to provide the qualifications for State Fire Training’s Fire Fighter 2 certification. These qualifications are documented in the Fire Fighter 2 Certification Training Standards (CTS). State Fire Training coordinated the development of the CTS guide, certification and associated curriculum. The Statewide Training and Education Advisory Committee (STEAC) and the State Board of Fire Services (SBFS) recommended these standards and qualifications for adoption by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM).
