The Professional Development & Response Section is currently reviewing new Certification Test Banks for Firefighter 1 and 2. A requirement of our International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) accreditation is to have our test banks reviewed by a group of third-party subject matter experts.
We are currently seeking interested fire service members to serve on Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) for these levels. While selecting members for these TAGs, our goal is to involve a statewide cross-section of Washington’s fire service; including both individuals who have participated before and those new to the process.
We anticipate that these TAGs will meet one full day; Firefighter I on September 26th and Firefighter II on October 1st.
If you are interested in serving as a member of one of these TAGs, please reply directly to Chief Deputy State Fire Marshal Bill Slosson at william.slosson@wsp.wa.gov and provide a brief description of your experience in fire training, certification testing, and whether or not you have served on a Technical Advisory Group for us in the past.
Thank you for your participation and support of the Firefighter Certification program!
