As of January 3, 2023, the Basic 1 & Basic 2 certifications have been implemented. If a firefighter was not certified as a 150- or 400- hour firefighter prior to noon today, they will now be required to fulfill the requirements of Basic 1 (115 hours) and Basic 2 (300 hours).
If a firefighter has not been certified to the 150 or 400 hour level prior to noon today, and has at least 6 hours in Firefighter Survival, Firefighter Rescue, or Flashover Awareness categories, they will be considered compliant to the new Basic 1 and Basic 2 certification levels in that category and will not have to produce proof of skills completion in that category.
If you have any questions about implementation of these levels, please email [email protected].
