Firefighter Training and <br />Standards. Aa 669 creates the Califomia <br />Firefighter Training Standards Task Force to <br />develop a system that puts in place a comprehen- <br />sive, continuing training and education structure <br />that meets the needs of the disciplines within the <br />fire service profession. , Many public entities <br />provide education and training to firefighters, <br />including cities, counties, special districts, com- <br />munity colleges and the state. The California <br />Firefighter Training Standards Task Force will bring <br />together these stakeholders to develop coordi- <br />nated training and education for the fire service. <br /> <br />In Califomia, we have the privilege of maintain- <br />ing one of the best fire services and most highly <br />trained emergency responders in the United <br />States. In times of crisis, our front line responders <br />provide an invaluable service to the residents of <br />our state, and we strongly support training and <br />activities to further enhance their skills to provide <br />the best public safety services possible.
