Oct. 26 Webcast - TCFP

As more ESDs employ career firefighters, they become subject to regulation from the Texas Commission on Fire Protection. Join SAFE-D and TCFP Executive Director Michael Wisko for a discussion about the role the Commission plays and what might change in the upcoming Legislative Session. Texas A&M's V.G. Young Institute of County Government has certified this training for one (1) hour of ESD Commissioner Training Credit.
