Section 141.410  Requirements

The Office defines the minimum basic requirement to be completed by a recruit or trainee prior to becoming a permanent member of the fire department to be the Firefighter II level.  All local governmental agencies electing to participate for reimbursement must have all firefighter trainees certified at the Firefighter II level by the end of their probationary period.  The probationary period will be determined by the local governmental agency.  The failure of any trainee to complete Firefighter II certification within the required probationary period will render that individual and local governmental agency ineligible for reimbursement funding for basic training for that individual in the calendar year in which his probationary period ends.  The individual may later become certified without reimbursement.
