Apply the 2020 NFPA 1021 Standard to ensure fire officers are ready to take command!

New technologies, operating procedures, information management strategies, and many other factors impact today's fire service leaders. Fire officers must be prepared to address multiple challenges on the fireground, at the station, and in the community. Make sure personnel are ready to take command with up-to-date Job Performance Requirements (JPRs) in the 2020 NFPA 1021: Standard for Fire Officer Professional Qualifications.

NFPA 1021 specifically identifies four levels of progression:

• Fire Officer Level I (supervisory)
• Fire Officer Level II (supervisory and managerial)
• Fire Officer Level III (managerial/administrative)
• Fire Officer Level IV (administrative)

Fire departments nationwide will develop the next generation of successful and effective fire officers by following the requirements in the 2020 edition of NFPA 1021.
