4. Fire Prevention Officer Recredential

   The Recredential Process is only to maintain your Level I or Level II credential.

   Only the highest level credential needs to be maintained and renewed.

   The Recredential Application Process is the ONLY eligible process to be re-credentialed at your current level. If you choose to retake the Fire Prevention Officer – Level I or Level II courses, the points awarded for the class can be used in your re-credential application but will NOT recredential you with a new expiration date.

   Download the current application for recredential. Only the most current version of the application will be accepted. All previous versions will not be accepted or honored.

   The Fire Prevention Officer Level I and Level II Credential expire after 36 months. Anyone wishing to maintain their Level I and Level II credentials must accumulate 36 points or 72 points, respectively, of approved attendance and activities in a consecutive 36-month period that begins on the date the latest credential was issued.

   In the event a previously credentialed individual fails to acquire the minimum points in the consecutive 36-month period, the Fire Prevention Officer Credential will become void.

   Anyone wishing to reinstate an expired credential must comply with the current minimum standards established for “recredentialing”.

   Minimum standards are defined as: accumulating the required points of approved attendance and activities in a consecutive 36-month period from the date of the submitted application and not prior to the date the latest credential was issued.
