UPDATE: Fire Inspectors

All fire inspectors must complete a free training video (approximately five minutes long) on inspecting AEDs in Texas schools. This requirement applies even if you do not currently inspect schools. Fire inspector trainees must complete this video to be eligible for TCFP certification.
This requirement was enacted by the Texas Legislature during the most recent legislative session and is now a mandatory component of fire inspector certification.
