FIREFIGHTERS
The OFFICE OF THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL adopted amendments
to the Part now titled Requirements for the Participation
and Certification of Fire Protection Personnel (41 IAC 141; 46 Ill Reg
15078) effective 1/1/23, reflecting the current requirements, practices
and terminology of OSFM’s Division of Personnel Standards
and Education. The rulemaking changes the name of the Part
(formerly, Policy and Procedures Manual for Fire Protection
Personnel); updates National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
standards and editions incorporated in OSFM rules for
individual firefighter certification requirements; allows
computerized access to training records, testing, certifications,
training facility approvals and course approvals; eliminates
obsolete Sections and creates new Sections to align with the most
effective procedures and with statutory revisions; and
consolidates and revises claims reimbursement provisions. Those
affected by this rulemaking include local fire departments and fire
service personnel.
