Had a request from CPT Turner to send this out to the group. Based on the questions in the quiz it is what is in the curriculum for FF1. However, I still wanted to send it to the group for you to respond.

Good Afternoon Sir,

I am currently working on a proposal for creating a SFT forcible entry class.  I am looking to send out a brief survey to get data to see if there is an interest on developing this Statewide.  I received your email from Chris Fowler from SFT and was advised you may be able to send it out your ARTP group for their input.  Would you be able to send out this link to a google form that gathers information regarding this concept?  It should only take a few minutes of the respondents time.

From Caryn,

State Fire Training has expanded the provision to skill simulation on Certification Exam to Fire Fighter 2 (2019) for the following Random Skills:

  • Skill 3-1: Extinguish an Ignitable Liquid Fire
  • Skill 3-2: Control a Flammable Gas Cylinder Fire
  • Skill 4-1: Extricate a Victim Entrapped in a Motor Vehicle

The Fire Fighter 2 (2019) Psychomotor Summary Sheet denoting this information may be viewed online: https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/media/10452/fire-fighter-2-psychomotor-exam-summary-sheet.pdf

These skills may be simulated only when a corresponding registered FSTEP course has been taught during the Fire Fighter 2A (2019) module. It is the responsibility of the host ARTP/ALA to verify FSTEP course completion by all Certification Exam candidates, including Alternate Delivery participants.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

State Fire Training will begin rollout delivery of the new Behavioral Health and Cancer Awareness(BHCA) FSTEP curriculum in Spring 2021. ARTPs interested in serving as hosts of the Instructor rollout of the course(s), should contact Caryn Petty, SFT Regional Coordinator, via email at [email protected].
