Master Applications

The following applications are open for review. Please complete and forward the signature page indicating your approval or items for clarification. Once the Zone Representative approval has been received, any of the full board members can submit a follow-up approval.

Acceptable coursework excludes NFPA 1001: Firefighter I and II training. With the removal of First Aid from the firefighter curriculum, coursework previously used toward lower level certifications can be reallocated toward Master Firefighter.
