Book Description
Nationally, the fire service has considered the training of company fire officers to be important but has not taken the steps necessary to fully implement formal officer development programs. The purpose of this research project was to determine why fire officer training has not been implemented in more Florida fire departments and what standards or criteria are being used by those with fire training programs. A descriptive research methodology was used to assess the present status of fire officer training in the State of Florida through the use of literature sources and a telephone survey of Florida fire departments.
