  F0635 Best Practices in CRR

  December 10-11, 2024

  This 2-day course demonstrates to students nationally recognized principles that, when used appropriately, can lead to community risk-reduction programs that can measure success in local communities.

  • Fire and emergency services personnel who help develop and deliver fire prevention and community risk-reduction programs.

  R0670 CRR: A Policy Approach

  January 26 - 31, 2025

  
  

  The purpose of this 6-day course is to empower students with the ability to create, evaluate and defend public policy in their home community. The course is also designed to facilitate understanding of how codes and regulations can be used as an effective component of fire prevention, fire mitigation and overall community risk reduction. A risk assessment is used to prioritize risk.

  The course presents the stages of the policy process, which include problem identification and agenda setting, policy formation, issue resolution and policy adoption, implementation and application, and evaluation.

  Students who have previous experience with code development, implementation and enforcement, as well as those who have little or no experience but would like to learn more about the process, are encouraged to apply.

  The target audience is fire chiefs, fire marshals, inspectors, code practitioners, plans reviewers, building officials, fire and life safety educators, and fire and emergency medical services officers.

  Selection priority will be given when two people of a jurisdiction apply together (state, county or local entity). One member must be from emergency services; the other member can be from emergency services, building, health, law enforcement, etc.

  DATE:                           Sunday, January 26–31, 2025

  2025 Fire Prevention Leadership Symposium

  May 14-15, 2025 – Angel of the Winds Casino Resort – Arlington, Washington

  Registration Now Open

  Course Descriptions

  The Washington State Association of Fire Marshals is pleased to announce the dates for the 2025 Fire Prevention Symposium (FPS). The FPS is being held at Angel of the Winds Casino Resort at Arlington, and will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, and will conclude at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 15, 2025. The Fire Prevention Symposium focuses on training that requires more time than what is normally available at the Fire Prevention Institute each October so that the training can be more in-depth.  The sessions will focus on leadership, management, technical training, as well as other important prevention and strategy for fire officials and will include essential training hours needed for code recertification. 

  
  

  Registration includes: All Sessions, Breakfast and Lunch

  
  

  This is the first occurrence of the FPS.  Topics this year include: Career Survival While being a Change Agent, Battery Energy Storage Systems, a Training Performance Focus Workshop, to name a few.  The FPS is smaller using only two classrooms, so registration may be limited depending upon demand.

  We are looking forward to seeing you in Arlington and are very excited to have some of the best speakers in the country coming to provide us with quality topics regarding fire prevention.
