Good afternoon everyone!

We just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Jeff Baumunk and I will be sending out the electronic course catalog survey here shortly.  It will be on Microsoft Forms and fairly easy to complete in 10-15 minutes. It will go to one designee per school so there will not be any duplication of work if you want to let us know who that designee will be you can let Jeff or I know. As a heads up, there will be a second survey going out for the EMS side as well. Here is the breakout of schools between the two of us:

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].

Good afternoon everyone. I am looking through all of our media files on our page. We only have 7 academy logos and if you have a specific post (job, survey, etc.) I would like to add your logo to the post and email. Right now I have FCC, Sierra, Moreno Valley, Oxnard (do you have new ones?), Mt. San Antonio, Allan Hancock, Santa Anna. Please send them to [email protected] so I can upload them. Thank you!

Ray Mosack asked for these to be posted. Please distribute to those that may be interested. Please continue to send us your announcements!

Caryn Petty sent us a great MAYDAY video from Glendale Fire Department and is really well put together. It would be good to use for RIC Ops or FFS.

In an effort to determine the effectiveness of the COVID protocols implemented by ARTP’s in their fire programs, the CFTDA E-Board surveyed their membership in November to solicit their feedback. You will find a report on these responses enclosed. If you have any questions regarding its findings, feel free to contact CFTDA Secretary Randy Collins at: [email protected]
