Fire Service Training and Certification Advisory Board
The “Voluntary Certification Program for Fire Fighters” began on June 21, 1979, 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.
- About
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.- Board Members
