California Enacts SB 345 to Support Fire Service Training and Education
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — October 11, 2025 — Governor Gavin Newsom has officially signed Senate Bill 345, a pivotal piece of legislation aimed at bolstering the California Fire Service Training and Education Program and the California Fire and Arson Training Act. Authored by Senator Melissa Hurtado (D-16), the bill was chaptered into law on October 3, 2025, as Chapter 312, Statutes of 2025. [fastdemocracy.com]
Addressing Rising Costs in Fire Training
SB 345 authorizes the State Fire Marshal (SFM) to collect admission and program fees for fire service training and arson investigation education—but only when state appropriations and other funding sources fall short. This change is designed to ensure the sustainability of critical training programs without placing undue financial burden on participants. [trackbill.com]
According to Senator Hurtado’s office, the bill responds to a growing concern: the dramatic increase in training costs, which have risen by over 200% to 400% in some cases. These costs have made it difficult for volunteer firefighters and entry-level candidates to access necessary certifications, potentially limiting diversity and accessibility in the fire service.

Dear CFTDA Members,
I hope this message finds you well.
Bakersfield College is excited to announce the launch of our Wildland Fire Academy, scheduled to begin in Fall 2025. This academy will provide essential training for future wildland firefighters and support our region’s increasing need for skilled personnel to meet today’s wildfire challenges.
As we prepare for this important initiative, we are seeking guidance and feedback from experienced professionals and partner agencies. Specifically, we are in need of:
-
A wildland fire vehicle (Type 3 or Type 6) and a passenger van for student transport and field operations.
-
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that meets NFPA 1977 standards for wildland firefighting.
-
Tools and equipment, including hand tools, hoses, and related gear for training and live exercises.
Your experience and insights would be invaluable to us as we build a strong foundation for this program. If you have recommendations, surplus equipment, or know of funding or partnership opportunities, we would greatly appreciate your input.
Thank you in advance for any information or support you can provide as we work to train the next generation of wildland firefighters and strengthen community safety.
Warm regards,
 |
