A Message from the Executive Director

Thank you for visiting the Alabama Fire College and Personnel Standards Commission website. It is our mission to prepare Alabama’s firefighters and first responders to protect our communities from the loss of life and property. We accomplish this mission through the development and delivery of excellent training courses and by administering the process of fire service certification in the State of Alabama. We are also proud to provide our training and certification services to private industry and to U. S. Department of Defense firefighting forces located at military installations around the world.

Partnerships are a critical component to our success. We are currently building new bridges to other state and local agencies and to the private sector that will make our training efforts more successful and more valuable to Alabama’s first responders. These partnerships also help us to operate more efficiently and to deliver a higher level of service than ever before.

This is a time of great change for Alabama and the fire protection agencies that serve our state. Our staff is committed to meeting the needs of Alabama’s fire service in new ways, with better delivery models and enhanced attention to customer service. Please tell us how we are doing and how your Alabama Fire College can work for you!
