REQUIREMENTS
Fire Officer II or Equivalent per the Authority Having Jurisdiction

This course is the third part of our fire officer series. This class focuses on the same key areas for the officers identified in our Fire Officer II course but takes them up a notch. Rather than the company-level officer, this section is focused on the station or multiple company officer. This class seeks out that “higher level of understanding” in the following areas:
  • Transition to New Roles and Responsibilities
  • Operational Planning Principles
  • Strategy and Tactics
  • Communication
  • Health and Safety
  • Human Resources
  • Legal Issues
  • Professional Fire Service
  • Development of Goals
  • Code Enforcement
  • Training

The RAFT Fire Officer III certification is nationally accredited to NFPA 1021 through the Pro Board!
