How often must a certification of competency be renewed according to SFD regulations?

Certification of competency must be renewed every 3 years according to Seattle Fire Department regulations. This time frame ensures that individuals maintain up-to-date knowledge and skills necessary for their roles within the fire department. Renewals typically involve demonstrating continued competence, which can include ongoing education, practical assessments, or other forms of evaluation based on current practices and technologies in firefighting and emergency services. Regular renewal not only helps in maintaining high standards of safety and efficiency within the department but also aligns with industry standards for training and certification.
