The Fire Marshal received eighty-eight (88) hours of training in fire/arson investigations, NC Fire Prevention Code updates and CPR.

The training received is required to maintain various certifications held by staff. A training records database of hours and training topics is included with the agenda abstract. North Carolina General Statute 58-86-25 requires annual submission of a complete and certified roster of eligible staff annually. As the governing body, the County Commissioners must certify the annual certification roster. The certified roster and minimum training requirements determine eligibility for benefits through the Association, including line of duty death benefits, accidental death and dismemberment benefits and participation in the pension fund. The certification roster is attached and lists two individuals. As an additional point of information, individual County fire departments submit their own certification rosters based on approval by their respective boards of directors and signature of approval by the board's president. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The County provides funding for the costs associated with staff attending various training classes to maintain certifications and membership in the NC State Firemen's Association. The costs to attend classes for certification for the fire marshal and staff was approximately $900. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the certification roster and authorize the Chair to sign the certification documents.
