[pffmems1]

I am a career Firefighter/Paramedic from Massachusetts. I am moving to Florida and would greatly appreciate any information regarding the challenge process for the Florida State FF certification.
Thanks.

I found this info at http://members.aol.com/jfrye50009/ffhowto.htm:

"If you are a firefighter in another state and want to work in Florida, you may challenge the State of Florida "Minimum Standards" written and practical skills examination. You must be able to document 440 hours of acceptable fire training. Contact the Florida State Fire College for more information. The written and practical skills examination are given quarterly for out of state applicants. The State Fire College does not offer the EMT or Paramedic Programs."

The State Fire College is at http://www.fsfc.ufl.edu/Standard/StdFFCrt.htm, and they have specific information there on how to challenge.

Good luck!
