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].
Please see the attachments for information regarding San Diego Miramar College’s Company Officer 2B and 2C courses.
OCTOBER 9 STEAC MEETING NOTES
Notes from the October 9 2020 STEAC meeting have been posted for your review. Those items of particular interest to the membership have been highlighted in yellow and include:
- Addition of Jones and Bartlett’s Wildland Firefighter Principles and Practices as an approved textbook to the FFIC Course Plan (along with the previously approved Bill Ties’ IFSTA text.
- Waiving the AS Degree requirement for the Chief Officer Cert. for 2 years providing candidates meet one of the 4 options identified in the SFT report. This was the meetings most controversial topic with it originally proposed for 4 years with the TO’s & CFTDA advocating reducing to 2 years. After a spirited discussion, it narrowly passed with the two year provision.
- A confirmation from Chief Henning that the new fee schedule will go into effect Jan 1, 2021
- A presentation from Dr. Tunson on the Transformational Organizational Model, Bridging the Racial Divide that he presented to us at our last Zoom meeting. The item has been agendized for the Jan STEAC meeting.
If you have specific questions regarding the meeting, feel free to contact Randy Collins at [email protected]
