Establishes a battery storage fire training program

Summary

The bill amends municipal and executive law so that any person hired as a permanent fire fighter must first complete an approved basic fire training program and a specific battery‑storage fire training program, receiving a certificate from the state fire administrator. Temporary or probationary fire fighters must also finish the same training within a timeframe set by the administrator or lose their position. The measure gives the state fire administrator broad authority to set standards, approve programs, certify instructors, and oversee compliance.
