DPSST Fire Program Maintenance Re-Certification

DPSST  FIRE  PROGRAM  MAINTENANCE  RE-CERTIFICATION

        

Oregon fire service, can you believe it?  The ninth biennial Maintenance Re-Certification is here for the period 1/1/2023 through 12/31/2024!  Thank you for your support and assistance during this process.  Please read the following:

 

Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR 259-009-0065) requires the re-certification of Fire Service Professionals at their highest levels of certification.  The Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) at the request of the Oregon fire service, has implemented the maintenance re-certification process every even year.  This is a way for agencies to recognize that proficiency is maintained by either frequently using the skills, demonstrate competency through some type of evaluation or assessment, or through continuing education.

 

 

6/1/2022:       Maintenance Re-Certification packets will be mailed to each agency.

                 

                  Applications received after 5/21/2022 will not be reflected in

                  your Maintenance Re-Certification Packet, but will be viewable on 

                  Snapshot or IRIS.

 

12/31/2022: All completed forms to be submitted to DPSST no later than this date.

 

                  All forms for your entire Fire Agency are to be submitted at one time as

                 a packet.  Individual forms will not be processed. 

 

 

We strongly encourage that any necessary changes be made and your roster is up-to-date.  This will make the process much cleaner and efficient, on your end, as well as ours in Fire Certification.
