1 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Voluntary Certification Program for Fire Fighters began on June 21, when House Bill 1243 was signed into law. The general purpose of the certification program is to measure the level of knowledge, skills and abilities possessed by firefighters and first responders and to attest that these individuals meet nationally recognized standards. These competency based standards permit evaluation of training programs and promotes uniformity in firefighter and first responder training. The Colorado Firefighter Certification Program is a voluntary program, meaning that there is no statutory requirement that firefighters become certified. The certification program establishes a means to judge the proficiency of firefighters and first responders, irrespective of their department affiliation and regardless of whether they are paid or volunteer. On April 21, 1995, The International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) approved the Colorado Division of Fire Safety Fire Fighter I and Fire Officer I certification programs for National Accreditation. The Division of Fire Safety implemented its approved National Accredited programs on September 15,1995. Fire Safety Advisory Board CRS , Part 12 creates the Fire Safety Advisory Board, the general purpose of which is to: Establish a fire service education and training program; Set minimum standards for training and certification; Establish procedures for determining if firefighters meet these minimum standards; and Certify applicants who meet the established minimum standards. The Fire Safety Advisory Board is comprised of nine members appointed by the Governor, and representing the major fire service organizations in the state, municipalities, fire protection districts and the property and casualty insurance industry. Fire Service Training Program The State of Colorado Fire Service Training Program, previously under the supervision of the State Board of Community Colleges, and Occupational Education, was transferred to the Division of Fire Safety on July 1, In 1970, the International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA) manuals published by Fire Protection Publications, Oklahoma State University, were adopted as the standards for the fire service training program. The Advisory Board has established the IFSTA training manuals, IFSTA Instructor lesson plans, and curriculum packages as the minimum curriculum leading to state certification. IFSTA training manuals are available for purchase from the Division of Fire Safety, 700 Kipling Street, Suite 1000, Denver, CO 80215, telephone number (303) SECTION 2 PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY FOR ESTABLISHING RULES 2.1 The purpose of the Firefighter Certification Program is to measure the level of knowledge, skills and abilities possessed by firefighters and to attest that these individuals meet nationally recognized standards.
