The Department is holding a workshop for the purpose of exploring options with the public for the implementation of changes to the procedures for state firefighter certification exam day. The workshop may also include a general discussion of the procedures for state firefighter exam day, exam process, equipment requirements, general procedures, safety requirements, makeup exams, and proposed rule development in that regard.
