Good afternoon all!
Caryn asked that we send this out prior to the meeting Thursday as there is a lot of info on here to digest.
Good morning CFTDA,
This came up in the last meeting. I am attaching the CalOSHA policies for working in the heat as well as Sierra College’s heat policy. Thank you Jason! ACADEMY HEAT POLICY

Good morning CFTDA!
BP2030 meetings will begin next week in Sacramento. Attached are two surveys for firefighters and agencies to help guide the process. To get more reach please push these out to your adjuncts and alumni.
FIRE SERVICE PROFESSIONAL SURVEY
Thank you!
From Chief Petty,
Please see attached link and share it with CFTDA members. This positively impacts the hiring practices of CAL FIRE and the college academy plans, and will definitely benefit the ARTP graduates.
New Curriculum Training Path for Firefighter I – FINAL
This is huge! Please also reference the FAQs in the link as well as it explains a lot of what this memo means to CFTDA.
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.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

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,
Peter Cacossa
