A 383 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits certain firefighter training courses to be taken online.

This bill permits firefighters in New Jersey to complete certain theory-based courses required for Firefighter 1 certification online, rather than in person. It directly affects individuals pursuing this certification and the Division of Fire Safety, which sets training standards. The bill allows online delivery for all certification courses **except** hands-on practical skills like hose handling, ladder operations, search/rescue drills, and equipment use (e.g., SCBA, fire attack). This change aims to increase flexibility while maintaining in-person training for critical physical skills.
