As we close another year, I want to thank our
stakeholders for their continued partnership and
support of State Fire Training. Your engagement is
vital to ensure California’s fire service is prepared
for emerging risks, evolving technology, and the
increasing demands placed on our responders.
Over the past year, we advanced several key
priorities. The rapid expansion of battery energy
storage systems (BESS) has highlighted the need
for updated training and guidance, and we
have begun integrating new content to prepare
firefighters for these complex incidents. We also
strengthened our focus on behavioral health
and cancer awareness, reflecting our shared
responsibility to support both the operational
readiness and long-term well-being of
California’s fire service members.
A major accomplishment was the rollout of the
updated Fire Fighter curriculum, aligning our
training with current science, national standards,
and modern fireground realities. In parallel,
we continued improving the Acadis system,
streamlining processes and enhancing usability
for departments, instructors, and candidates
across the state.
Throughout these efforts, the State Fire Training
team remained committed to delivering reliable,
responsive customer service, ensuring our
stakeholders receive the support and clarity
needed to navigate the system effectively.
Thank you for your continued collaboration.
Together, we will keep strengthening California’s
fire service and preparing for the challenges
ahead.
