Purpose


Pursuant to section 633.432, F.S., the purpose of the Florida State Fire College is to provide firefighters with professional instruction and training in firefighting and to ensure their professionalism and competence by administering a system of certification and licensing. The Division of State Fire Marshal is amending Rule 69A-37.065, F.A.C., to add a new voluntary Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Program designed for firefighters having aircraft fire suppression and rescue responsibilities and will include standards for obtaining certification as an ARFF Firefighter, ARFF Driver, and ARFF Officer. The proposed amendments to Rule 69A-37.039, F.A.C., will adopt three new forms for the ARFF Program including an ARFF Driver Task Book, ARFF Officer Portfolio Workbook, and ARFF Firefighter Task Book.
