Requires Firefighter 1 certification of candidate who completes military firefighter training and at least 12 months active duty military service in lieu of training course requirements.

This bill allows military firefighters who completed at least 12 months of active duty military service and military firefighter training to qualify for New Jersey's Firefighter 1 certification without completing the standard state-required training course. It directly affects veterans who served in military firefighting roles, waiving the mandatory recruit training requirement while maintaining other eligibility and examination standards set by the Division of Fire Safety. The key provision replaces the traditional training course requirement with proof of qualifying military service and training. This change applies to candidates who meet all other certification criteria but lack the standard classroom training.
