Marine Fire Fighting for the Land-Based Fire Fighter
The Marine Fire Fighting for the Land-Based Fire Fighters Certification utilizes NFPA 1005: Professional Qualifications Standard for Marine Fire Fighting for Land-Based Fire Fighters to provide the qualifications for State Fire Training’s Marine Fire Fighting for the Land-Based Fire Fighters certification. These qualifications are documented in the Marine Fire Fighting for the Land-Based Fire Fighters Certification Training Standards (CTS) (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).
The requirements for this certification can be found in the SFT Procedures Manual. The Marine Fire Fighting for the Land-Based Fire Fighters Implementation Plan (PDF) was developed to provide detailed information regarding how and when the transition to this new certification will go into effect.
