Division of State Fire Marshal

Summary

The bill would have the Florida Division of State Fire Marshal recognize firefighter training and certifications from other states when they are substantially equivalent or more stringent, and would require the division to document its reasons before denying such credentials. It also would prohibit fire departments from forcing firefighters to bring home contaminated protective equipment and would direct the division to adopt rules on handling such gear. The measure aimed to improve firefighter mobility and safety but did not pass.
