Can a fire fighter candidate receive an extension if any certification requirements have not been met within the one-year probationary period?
Maybe. Under state law, the Board may grant a candidate one extension not to exceed one year. It is the responsibility of the candidate’s fire chief (or authorized designee) to file a written request for such extension and provide evidence as to why the additional time is needed to meet certification requirements.
