Good afternoon all,

As many of your programs begin welcoming student learners back to your facilities, we all find ourselves amidst the ever-evolving pandemic and the flexibility of instructional delivery. State Fire Training has been keeping a close eye on emerging COVID restrictions statewide and wanted to extend the continued invitation for any preemptive Distance Education curriculum delivery. I will work with your program(s) to provide an expedited review of submission to alleviate some undue stress should your programs need to move to a Distance Education format.

Application: https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/media/fsegot1v/distance-education-application.pdf

Outline Example Letter: https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/media/10849/distance-education-outline-example.docx

Previously approved Outline and Supplemental Documentation may be resubmitted for processing and review – you need only update pertinent information, as appropriate (Instructors, course dates, instructional delivery methodology).

Let me know if you have any questions or need assistance. Be safe and be well.

Good afternoon CFTDA,

I just wanted to send a note that I am amazed at what all of you do day-in and day-out for the Fire Service, CFTDA, your individual programs, and schools. The last two years have definitely been very interesting, but we kept up with the changes in the face of everything that life threw at us. Many of you had great advancements in the last two years with new or updated campuses, equipment, technology, and that is fantastic. I hope and pray that 2022 is better for all of us and I look forward to seeing all of you in the new year in March in Fresno. We are a sum of the parts, and you all play a huge part in the direction of the Fire Service. I am thankful for all of you and all of what you do every day.

Very Respectfully,

Peter Cacossa

Good afternoon everyone,

I had a post of interest that I would like to share with all of you that came from Chris Baker and 1LT Matthew Epstein. Please see the attached memo regarding the explanation of Team Blaze.  This is just another avenue for potential students or graduates to gain experience and make some money during fire season.

Very Respectfully,
