The "special temporary provision" for the new Rope Rescue certifications is now underway. Qualified individuals can take a state certification exam without first needing to take and pass an approved course.
You are eligible to take the TCFP exam for the awareness/operations level and/or the technician level if you meet the following qualifications:
1 – you must be certified by TCFP as a structural firefighter, an ARFF firefighter, or a Marine firefighter; and
2 – you must provide an affidavit from your Head of Department or Chief Training Officer that you meet your department’s requirements to perform as a rope rescuer and that you have demonstrated proficiency as a rope rescuer at the awareness/operations level and/or the technician level.
To qualify to take the state exam, you must submit your application to us no later than October 1, 2025.
The special temporary provision will expire on November 1, 2025.
Please see the rules in our standards manual (chapter 469) for more information. And if you have questions, send an email to testing@tcfp.texas.gov.
