***IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SFFMA/TCFP RECIPROCITY***
SFFMA AND the Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) have been made aware of a Facebook post informing individuals that TCFP is taking SFFMA certifications for reciprocal certifications. Currently, TCFP is NOT TAKING SFFMA CERTIFICATIONS for reciprocal certification and individuals are still required to contact testing at testing@tcfp.texas.gov for assistance.
There will be more information concerning the reciprocal certification process after the SFFMA Conference later this month. Again, TCFP is NOT accepting SFFMA certifications for reciprocal certification currently.

Make sure there is no lapse in your insurance coverage. We had numerous LODDs in the past few years where the firefighters had a lapse in coverage. Tragically, after losing a loved one, their families didn’t receive anything from insurance. We know you put your life on the line every day. If the worst were to happen, would your family be okay?
We also ask all PORTAL users to please make sure you have your most up-to-date contact info in the system. This includes addresses and emails. We can’t communicate with you if we don’t have the most current info!
