DEADLINE: Fire Marshal Exam

The special temporary provision (a.k.a. the grandfathering period) during which you can take the fire marshal certification exam without first having to take an approved course is coming to an end. If you haven't scheduled your fire marshal exam yet, please submit your application right away.

You must apply to take the exam by Aug. 1, 2024, and you must take the exam by Aug, 30, 2024. If you miss the Aug. 1 application deadline, you must take and pass an approved course before you can apply to take the exam.

Registration Open for Upcoming Regional Meetings

TCFP offers “regional meetings” throughout the year in a variety of locations around the state. These meetings are opportunities for members of nearby fire departments and other regulated entities to meet some of our staff in person. We want to answer your questions, listen to your concerns, and give timely updates related to commission news. In addition, through a partnership with TEEX, CE will be awarded for your attendance at these meetings. 

For a list of all upcoming meeting dates, visit the Regional Meetings webpage.
