Fire Officer 2
The Fire Officer 2 utilizes NFPA 1021 (2020) and NFPA 1140 (2022) standards to provide the qualifications for State Fire Training's Fire Officer 2 Certification. These qualifications are documented in the Fire Officer 2 Certification Training Standards Guide (PDF). 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).
Fire Officer 2 is the first certification in the California Officer professional certification series. The requirements for this certification can be found in the SFT Procedures Manual. The Fire Officer 2 Implementation Plan (PDF) was developed to provide detailed information regarding how and when the transition to this new certification will go into effect.
