Fire Officer I

Volunteer Fire Officer ISO580C Training Credit

It was approved in the March 2020 NC Fire and Rescue Certification Board meeting that any person who successfully completes the Fire Officer Level 1 certification course should receive NC Office of State Fire Marshal TRD0070 - Volunteer Fire Officer ISO 580C training credit. Meeting the prerequisites for Fire Officer Level 1 Certification are not required. Only successful completion of a FIP 3718 - Fire Officer Level 1 course will grant this credit.

This credit gives fire departments the availability to train their volunteer fire officers to a NFPA 1021-based program, while gaining credit toward ISO credit. A person may continue to pursue the NC Fire Officer Level 1 Certification if they successfully complete the prerequisites, which can be found on the Fire Officer Certification Page.
